Woman Shares Odd Yet Sweet Way Her Boyfriend Cheered Her Up On A Bad Depression Day

Clinical depression affects people in different ways. Many sufferers say it’s impossible for them to feel much of anything. Others describe a persistent feeling of hopelessness and despair.

Either way, one thing rings true for everyone diagnosed with the disorder — at times, it’s absolutely crippling, and there’s nothing anyone can say or do to make it better. That’s why it takes a special person to accept and understand these things about their partner and still be there for them in ways that help, even if only a little.

Imgur user RoastedIguana is clinically depressed herself, and recently had a really bad day in which she couldn’t bring herself to leave her bed, even for a quick trip to the bathroom. While it must be very difficult for her boyfriend to see her that way, his silly response couldn’t have been better.
