oh no it's ok! i just saw prompts before that were like "matt shows x sign of depression (usually suicidalness) but he isn't Really Depressed" which kind of....made me feel annoyed? i guess? because of course there are suicidally depressed people but it feels like a smack to the face when that's ALL i see in fic, it seems like it reduces depression to a trope....anyway i didn't mean to imply that suicidal depression was Invalid since i've gone through like short periods of it myself i just wanted fic that wasn't like. angsty for the sake of being angsty? if you get what i'm saying?

(forgive me anon i just woke up and none of this may make sense later)

ONE MORE THING i'm totally down w/ ppl writing that as a means of catharsis i've just seen it handled super awkwardly and as an opportunity to angst rather than treating it as an actual thing actual people go through ok i'm done now *runs away*

Ayrt. Oh no, okay. :) I got it! Thanks for explaining. Generally when I write about depression I don't even write about suicidal depression, so I get you.

Ayrt.

By the way, I dug around and I found some fic that includes Matt with depression without prominent suicidal tendencies. (By the way, the fic for the prompt that's the non-angsty interrupted suicide, despite the prompt itself saying it's not really depression, has an excellent depiction of depression, but that actually is suicidal depression.)

Just in case you haven't read these:

http://archiveofourown.org/works/3944515/chapters/8841451 (bipolar Foggy, unipolar depression Matt, friendship, in progress but updates regularly and is a lovely fill for one of my prompts)

http://archiveofourown.org/works/3834148 (Matt with depression, Foggy being a good friend)

There are a couple of other fics about Matt with depression sans heavy discussion/depiction of suicidal tendencies under the 'Depression' tag on AO3, but those are the ones I found right away that include friendship.
