The craziness of depression - this forum made me laugh while I am crying

I have just joined here.. Having a badish day but I had to share what just happened to me to me just shows how the simple things can become overwhelming when depressed.

I was reading some of the posts and when I went to the top of the page I saw 'Home >Connect with others > Online forums' the Online forum part was not clickable so the only way I could work out how to get back to the forum was hit the back button after doing this a few time I burst into tears yes no clickable link seemed to mean that much to me I am sure some will understand that here. After reading a few more posts I realised just below the button for the 'Community rules' is the clickable link back to the forums well when I realised that I started laughing so as I started writing this I was both crying and laughing as well as think damn your crazy. Sorry just had to share that depression if you have not had it you are not going to believe the things that effect you 🙂

Hi Juggler, welcome to the forums and I hope you're feeling a bit better now. You make a good point, the link to navigate backwards is not as obvious as it could be - this is something we can work on in future updates.

Hi Chris, thank you for the welcome. I do think the navigation could be improved a little but my post was more about how irrational things get when we are depressed. Earlier I burst into tears because my fridge door did not close fully when I went to shut it it does not take a lot some days. Also, for me, laughing while I cry is a sign of an off day.
