Hey Pandas, Why Are You Depressed Right Now?

I know that a lot of people are depressed right now, and I would like to know why. Know that we pandas are always there for you, and we got your backs, no matter what. We are there for you, and we are a community. But still, why are you depressed? You can be as open as you would like, we won't judge you.

The past three years have pretty much been a wreck. First, in 2019, my grandmother, who I was super close to, died of cancer. 2020 happened, and I don't think I need to explain more. In 2021, my cat died, and he was very young. Now, one of my best friends has a very dangerous disease. She is getting surgery this summer, but it is very risky, so she might not live through it. Also, one of my other best friends gaslighted me and my other two best friends. She told a counselor that we were all suicidal, even though we are not. One even had to go to an insane asylum because of this. And the gaslighter did this TO GET ATTENTION. She also lied that she was from another country too. My life is a wreck. I really hope you people's lives are better.

Going through a tough week and I skipped a meal for the first time in months. My mom said I can’t eat like that and make a pig out of myself. My sister bought something high in calorie and made me eat it for my grandma’s 70th birthday. My grandma is getting weaker and weaker and I don’t want her last memories of me to be a dangerously thin granddaughter.

My husband and I have drifted apart. It’s been a tough 2 years. We have tried to keep a small business afloat amidst the pandemic. We became new parents. And we suffered a pregnancy loss. We have drifted apart and are no longer each others person. It’s been a lot. I hate feeling lost, lonely, and disconnected.

I hope you find someone for comfort. I'm so sorry you lost your pregnancy and your person. But I wish you the very best.

My sister has broken every single promise and agreement we made about dating except for getting married before 20... and that's still up in the air. She's being very secretive and won't let me into her life. She is acting like I did some horrible thing and she's protecting herself. But sh won't tell me what it is that I did to screw up. 😔 she knows I'm a socal r****d and I'm not as adept at reading body language and tone. She's been my only constant friend for my whole life, so it is an incredibly painful ordeal.

My best and only friend stopped speaking to me for no reason that I'm aware of. I send him a non fiction egalitarian book for his birthday after asking permission from his dad and next thing I know his dad has removed him from the site where we met and he's not answering phone calls or texts.

I'd love to but it's nearly impossible. It is impossible without the resources I don't have because I'm an American. Your understanding of how wealth is created and hoarded in late-stage capitalism as well as your understanding of what it takes to become a citizen of a better country (of which there are many) is severely elementary.

well, I'm in love with someone who will most likely never feel the same for me. me and my mom have never gotten along, which has its own issues, but she doesn't believe I'm gay and I haven't even come out to my father. I don't really believe anyone likes me as a human being, they take one look at me and see a sarcastic person, but I am pretty funny. everyone around me is either dying or is going to leave my life. a lot of my family is toxic, but they are hard to leave. I've never been as successful as my sisters. and last but not least, I'm not really good at anything, sure I'm mediocre at a few things, but no one ever notices.
