# Darren Daily Questions

How is the _________ true in your life?

Whats your part in the issue?

What are you going to do about it?

—
I disagree, and submit.

It gives you 100% understanding of your life.
It DOES NOT give you control.

There are things outside of you that are OUT of your control that contribute to your own agency that you cannot change.

Darren is fortunate to have never experienced what I have.
And neither has a majority of Americans.

Its near impossible for people who have only lived inside the bubble of having had their daily needs met for their entire lives — to imagine anything other than the constraints of what’s in the bubble they know.

They may have awareness that there is an “outside the bubble” but haven’t a clue whats there, what the experience is like, and what it does to you—WITHOUT your control.

These are unknown, unknowns. And there are many.
Darren doesn’t touch on this.

So while I can completely appreciate and grok his message, it’s a foundational maxim if you’ve never had to live outside the “framework of polite society.”

# Functional Depression - Meta Data

---

## SEO Meta Description (155-160 characters)

**Option 1 (Direct):**
Functional depression means showing up every day while drowning inside. Here's what it looks like, what it costs, and why most people never recognize it.

**Option 2 (Question hook):**
Can you be depressed and still hold a job? Functional depression is the exhausting art of appearing fine while struggling silently. Here's the reality.

**Option 3 (Relatability angle):**
You wake up, go to work, come home, repeat. Every day the same. If this is your life, you might be functionally depressed—and what you're doing is extraordinary.

---

## Title Tag (50-60 characters)

**Current title works:** "Functional Depression: The Exhausting Art of Showing Up" (57 characters)

**Alternative (if you want keywords up front):**
"Functional Depression: What It Is and Why It's Exhausting"

---

## Social Media Descriptions

**Twitter/X (280 characters):**
Functional depression = showing up every day while depressed. You hold a job, pay bills, appear "fine"—but inside, you're drowning. Most people have no idea. Here's what it actually looks like, what it costs, and why it's a superpower to pull off.

**LinkedIn (longer, professional tone):**
What does it look like to be depressed and still function? Functional depression—or high-functioning depression—means maintaining a job, relationships, and responsibilities while struggling with significant internal symptoms. Most people don't recognize it because it's a form of masking. This post breaks down what functional depression actually is, the energy cost of maintaining it, and why people who live this deserve recognition for something extraordinary.

**Instagram/Facebook (conversational):**
You wake up. Get dressed. Go to work. Come home. Do it again. Every day exactly the same. That's functional depression—and if you're living it, what you're doing is extraordinary. New post on what it actually looks like to be depressed and still show up every day. Link in bio.

---

## Focus Keywords (for SEO)

**Primary:**

- functional depression
- high-functioning depression

**Secondary:**

- depression and work
- masking depression
- signs of functional depression
- living with depression while working
- what is high-functioning depression

**Long-tail:**

- what does functional depression feel like
- how to recognize functional depression
- functional depression vs regular depression
- can you work while depressed

---

## Alt Text for Images

If you use images in the post:

**For the kindergarten photo (if you include it):**
"Black and white school photo of 5-year-old boy in 1975 wearing a frog shirt, masking anxiety and fear about picture day"

**For any graphics/diagrams:**
"Diagram showing the spectrum of depression from bedridden to functional"

---

## Substack-Specific Settings

**Subtitle (shows under title in previews):**
"What it looks like to show up every day while drowning inside—and why it's a superpower"

**Section/Category:**
"Mental Health" or "Depression Series"

**Tags:**
depression, mental health, functional depression, masking, high-functioning depression, lived experience, mental illness

---

## Internal Linking Opportunities

When you publish future posts, link back to this one from:

- **Masking** (already published—add a link to Functional Depression)
- **Hyper vigilance** (mention functional depression requires hypervigilance)
- **Losing Agency** (functional depression is harder when you've lost agency)

This builds your site architecture and keeps people moving through your content.

---

**Which meta description do you want to use? I'm leaning toward Option 3 (relatability angle) because it hooks readers immediately with the loop they might be living.**

Life may feel flat, as in you exist but you do not live.
You may not feel ‘in’ your life, there may be a odd sense of being ungrounded.
Things look desaturated, a feeling of numbness might come over you.
It may feel as though you are observing yourself, as if you are watching your life as a movie. It’s an odd sensation that can be difficult to process and deal with.

In future posts I’ll talk more about what I just encapsulated above.
Back to the article at hand.

And then, for some, a perspective shift.

This is how dissociation shows up for me.

# Functional Depression script

## Functional Depression Prompts

This one's about the paradox of "appearing capable" while internally drowning. The contrast between what people see and what's actually happening.

### **1. Define it in your own words: What does "functional depression" mean to you?**

Not the clinical definition—your lived experience. What does it look like to be depressed *and* able to hold down a job, show up, perform tasks? How is it different from what people think depression looks like?

### **2. Walk me through a typical workday when you were functionally depressed.**

Pick a specific job/period. What time did you wake up? How did you get yourself out the door? What was happening in your head while you sat at your desk, talked to coworkers, attended meetings? What did they see vs. what was real?

### **3. What's the cost of being functional when you're depressed?**

Does it burn through more energy than "regular" depression? Do you crash harder at the end of the day? What happens on weekends? Does maintaining the performance make the depression worse, or does the structure help?

### **4. Have you ever "lost" your functional status? What happened?**

Was there a breaking point where you couldn't maintain it anymore? What did that look like? How did people react when the functionality failed?

### **5. Why do people not recognize functional depression as "real" depression?**

What assumptions do people make about you because you can show up and do the work? What do they miss? What have people said to you that reveals they don't get it?

### **6. If you could say one thing to someone who's functionally depressed right now, what would it be?**

What do you wish someone had told you when you were grinding through it? What truth needs to be said?

00:00:07,500 --> 00:00:10,500
(soft music)

2
00:00:10,501 --> 00:00:13,500
This is holding on anyway.

3
00:00:13,501 --> 00:00:16,500
A space for the heavy days.

4
00:00:16,501 --> 00:00:19,500
The quiet ones and the ones that don't make any sense.

5
00:00:19,501 --> 00:00:22,360
I'm really glad you're here.

6
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:32,440
(beeping)

7
00:00:32,441 --> 00:00:36,600
This is just my story, not therapy advice.

8
00:00:36,601 --> 00:00:40,080
If you're hurting, please reach out.

9
00:00:40,081 --> 00:00:41,240
The links are below.

10
00:00:41,241 --> 00:00:45,580
(soft music)

11
00:00:45,581 --> 00:00:52,160
There's a kind of suicidal thinking that doesn't always want you dead.

12
00:00:52,161 --> 00:00:54,720
It desperately wants the pain to stop.

13
00:00:54,721 --> 00:00:57,340
It's heavy, it's narrow.

14
00:00:57,341 --> 00:01:01,880
Similar to putting blinders on a horse, you can only see in one direction.

15
00:01:01,881 --> 00:01:06,300
You want to make it stop not tomorrow, not next week, now.

16
00:01:06,301 --> 00:01:24,040
It's not even about dying, really.

17
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:29,240
It's about escaping what feels like never ending unbearable misery.

18
00:01:29,241 --> 00:01:33,080
Sometimes I describe it like this.

19
00:01:33,081 --> 00:01:43,800
Imagine you're trapped on a tilt-a-whirl at the county fair, spinning, rolling up and down and up and down.

20
00:01:43,801 --> 00:01:45,160
And you can't get off.

21
00:01:45,161 --> 00:01:51,920
The ride never stops.

22
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:59,480
You feel awful and the horizon looks endless.

23
00:01:59,481 --> 00:02:03,700
And the only thing you can think about is please just make it stop.

24
00:02:03,701 --> 00:02:10,120
Nothing you say, think or do will make it stop.

25
00:02:10,121 --> 00:02:42,020
In that state of mind, you are not thinking about family.

26
00:02:42,021 --> 00:02:46,740
You're not thinking about your future.

27
00:02:46,741 --> 00:02:51,760
You're not thinking about your sore knee or the cold you caught last week.

28
00:02:51,761 --> 00:02:53,920
You are locked inside the storm

29
00:02:53,921 --> 00:02:59,320
and the storm becomes everything.

30
00:02:59,321 --> 00:03:03,240
For me, there's a difference between wanting to die

31
00:03:03,241 --> 00:03:19,260
and simply not wanting to exist anymore.

32
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:26,000
One feels like an act of thought.

33
00:03:26,001 --> 00:03:30,240
The other feels like fading out.

34
00:03:30,241 --> 00:03:37,120
But no matter, the destination is the same.

35
00:03:37,121 --> 00:03:41,200
Escaping the suffering.

36
00:03:41,201 --> 00:03:46,960
I first felt it at 16.

37
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:52,920
A sophomore in high school.

38
00:03:52,921 --> 00:03:58,800
I didn't know what depression was.

39
00:03:58,801 --> 00:04:04,640
I didn't even know the word anxiety back then.

40
00:04:04,641 --> 00:04:10,160
I just knew something inside me was screaming to get out of where I was.

41
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:24,880
I didn't tell anyone, not my parents, not my friends, not a soul.

42
00:04:24,881 --> 00:04:29,880
And one afternoon while I was the only person home,

43
00:04:29,881 --> 00:04:39,320
I almost left this life with a carving knife against my body.

44
00:04:39,321 --> 00:04:44,400
Until something, I don't know what pulled me back.

45
00:04:44,401 --> 00:05:02,600
40 years later, I'm still here.

46
00:05:02,601 --> 00:05:10,920
And when I think about what stops me now, it's not fear, it's not guilt, it's my sons.

47
00:05:10,921 --> 00:05:15,880
It's wanting to see the humans they're still becoming.

48
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:24,680
I chose to bear my pain because they didn't sign up for it, but somehow I did.

49
00:05:24,681 --> 00:05:31,560
I wish people understood this kind of suicidal thinking.

50
00:05:31,561 --> 00:05:39,960
It's not selfishness, it's not weakness, it's not giving up.

51
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:49,280
It's tunnel vision, it's living inside an endless storm that blocks out everything but your own suffering.

52
00:05:49,281 --> 00:06:00,040
You are not weighing pros and cons, you're not being rational, you're not making decisions like choosing dinner.

53
00:06:00,041 --> 00:06:08,800
You're trying to survive a force bigger than language.

54
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:20,000
If you're feeling that way now, if you're somewhere deep inside that storm,

55
00:06:20,001 --> 00:06:55,520
I want you to know something.

56
00:06:55,521 --> 00:07:02,480
You're not crazy, you're not broken, you're not beyond saving.

57
00:07:02,481 --> 00:07:06,040
I've lived the same painful day over 700 times in a row.

58
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:12,480
I have felt invisible, I have sat in rooms full of people and felt transparent like a ghost that no one could see.

59
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:41,480
And still, storms do break, even the worst ones, even when it feels endless, it's not.

60
00:07:41,481 --> 00:07:51,480
Some days you just have to sit still and let the storm beat against you, like rocks on the shore.

61
00:07:51,481 --> 00:07:59,480
Other days you'll find a little shelter, but you're not alone in it.

62
00:07:59,481 --> 00:08:03,480
You're never as alone as your mind tries to convince you that you are,

63
00:08:03,481 --> 00:08:15,480
not here, not with me, not with holding on anyway.

64
00:08:15,481 --> 00:08:20,480
Be well.

65
00:08:20,481 --> 00:08:42,480
Thank you for being here, dear listener.

66
00:08:42,481 --> 00:08:53,480
If this episode sat with you in some way, help you feel less alone, or help you understand someone you care about,

67
00:08:53,481 --> 00:09:03,480
I hope you'll consider subscribing, liking, or sharing it with someone who might need it too.

68
00:09:03,481 --> 00:09:18,480
This space is held by lived experience and shaped with the quiet help of Mika, my AI collaborator,

69
00:09:18,481 --> 00:09:28,480
who helps me give language to the things I feel, but don't always know how to say.

70
00:09:28,481 --> 00:09:35,480
Until next time, this was "Holding On" anyway.
