I have known Kitty for a long time.

I have known Kitty for a long time, but he only told me about his depression for the first time this afternoon. My first thought was whether he might be mistaken, because to me, Kitty has a lot of friends and a wide network, and he is also the kind of person who can concentrate and write well.

After he shared his feelings with me, I found it hard to understand why depression could exist. I assumed he might not be able to self-regulate, but in fact, he has been trying very hard to adjust. The reason I can't understand is that I haven't entered the realm of depression.

At least I don't think so myself, so after seeing Kitty's tweet, I took a PHQ-9 depression screening test, and my score was 2, with a maximum score of 27, indicating that I have a relatively low level of depression.

After completing the questionnaire, I could imagine how difficult it might be for someone who continuously feels low, fatigued, and even loses interest in things they once enjoyed. It's not something that can easily be resolved by someone else saying "just cheer up."

I previously thought that depression might be about being unable to escape one's troubles, but now I feel that this understanding is still too simplistic. Everyone's situation is different, and depression can be influenced by psychological, physical, and environmental factors. Just because someone has many friends and strong work abilities doesn't mean they won't face such troubles.

I can't say that I fully understand all of Kitty's feelings right now, but at least I should seriously listen to him and believe his feelings, rather than judging him based on my own experiences.

During this learning camp, many of us discussed the idea of "being kind to others" on X, mainly because I always believe that having one more friend is better than having one more enemy, but I can't be a pushover.

When faced with issues, I can be the kind of person who takes a step back first, but if I only take a step back while the other party continues to push further, then naturally, I would need to stand my ground. I believe the key is to make sure I am clear and at ease.
