Hey, ummmm how do I convince people I don’t have depression? I may or may not have just almost ended a conversation by saying I was going to go punch myself for something I did. (It’s a habit, okay?) I also just spent a half hour trying to convince this same person of how stupid I am. Here, I’m just going to copy a part of that conversation over here because I think It explains my confusion. This was in regards to me trying to prove my stupidity.

“I'm sorry. I've done it again. I've backed you into this sort of corner where you realize you can't really convince me I’m not stupid, but you can't back down either because that would validate my point. I've done it to *friend’s name* too. It makes me feel awful. At the same time, you and *friend’s name* both have your own problems and then here I am, with my problems that I refuse to let be solved. You can see a good part of why I know I'm stupid.”

Anyway, the pots are breaking. I can’t do anything, and I’m too useless to be able to help.

And then I think maybe I’m just catastrophizing everything and maybe I just want attention.

But anyway, any tips for proving my mental stability? Oh my goodness my SUs are getting weird. I have to stop pushing my problems onto other people. And also I can't unbold it for some reason. Sorry for being stupid, again, my fellow humans.
