SeanyTheSailor Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 I feel largely the same way about people who want to commit suicide. Go ahead, just do it quickly and get out of the way so someone who will appreciate what you had can move up. God dammit Seany, STOP SHARING MY MIND" I believe in something greater than myself. A better world. A world without sin. I'm not going to live there. There's no place for me there... I'm a monster.What I do is evil. I have no illusions about it, but it must be done."

champion Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 You know that a lot of Americans who actually are depressed have legitimate reasons and aren't all attention seeking 13 year olds, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanyTheSailor Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 I dont consider being sad over the death of a loved one to be depression, that's grieving. Grieving is acceptable, depression is pathetic. If you've got other reasons I'd be happy to listen. God dammit Seany, STOP SHARING MY MIND" I believe in something greater than myself. A better world.

blaah Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 Suicide is dumb, but depression is real. But if you wanna go tell a person with depression that they're lying for the attention, go ahead. Most of the people I know on depression medication or seeing counselors don't exactly advertise it though, so they're not attention hungry. Now, the emo people who act depressed as if it's a style and do it for attention are full of it most of the time. But the girl I know who works as a camp counselor during the summer and has a boyfriend, her use of depression medication probably isn't something she does just to gain attention. I understand a lot of people fall for the placebo effect and some would say depression meds are always placebos, but I believe in it. /FG/First thread post to when I joined the family.[hide=Insert rant here]blahblahblahLIFE[/hide] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanyTheSailor Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 You don't have to advertise it to get attention, people close to you know and will walk on eggshells around you, if you see a counselor that's just another person who gets paid to pay attention to you.

champion Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 Well both my parents are clinically depressed. They've been on medication for the past 4 years or so. My mom's dad has been slowly dying on the other side of the country for a long time now. The rest of her family lives there too but she rarely gets to communicate with them. She's stressed out about her sister who has to take care of her husband with Alzheimer's and can't leave the house. She can't afford to see them both financially and because she'd lose her job if she was gone for any significant period of time. My dad was let go from his job as a mental health counselor because of budget cuts and slipped into alcoholism until he recently got another job (albeit low paying). It's just stupid to say people who suffer with depression are pathetic attention seeking losers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeanyTheSailor Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 My view of society as a whole is that we're too soft and coddling. There's a pill for almost everything. If there's a problem there's someone else to blame. If it's tough it's ok to give up. It pisses me off when my mom tries to stuff me full of antihistamines id I have a sniffle, or Tylenol if I have an ache. My body isn't a goddamn teddy bear, it will take care of itself. Dealing with discomfort is part of life, if you take that away by popping a pill every time it happens you're only half living. If we ever get taken out of our comfort zone things will change right quick. God dammit Seany, STOP SHARING MY MIND" I believe in something greater than myself. A better world. A world without sin.

blaah Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 Well, going with your view and combining with mine, some people have a harder time dealing with their problems due to chemical imbalances in their brains. I don't walk on eggshells around anyone I know who has depression, I'd have to be silent in my house and careful with a few of my friends if depression meant they couldn't take jokes or they're too weak to take bad news. That's not what it's about. And paying a counselor helps some people, my mom sent me to one a couple summers back because I spent so much time alone, I had changed my eating habits drastically, and she thought it related to the divorce between her and my dad. It didn't work for me, but some people just like an outside source who won't judge them or share anything they say. The way you're denying depression could also be applied to eating disorders or addictions. Are you saying people can't be addicted to something, they're just telling themselves they need the drug? Are anorexic people just really insecure and need a boost of confidence from their friends? Are rehabs useless? I get that you place depression as a mindset, but some people, a lot of people, need help because their brain can't get out of that mindset. /FG/First thread post to when I joined the family.[hide=Insert rant here]blahblahblahLIFE[/hide] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blaah Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 As for dealing with problems defining us, the people with depression who choose to get help are the stronger ones in the end. The ones who just cop out or go suicidal are weaker, but, as cliché as it is, the first step is admitting. I prefer someone to say "I need help" over "my life sucks and I hate everything". /FG/First thread post to when I joined the family.[hide=Insert rant here]blahblahblahLIFE[/hide] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanyTheSailor Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 Zoe, I believe we trick ourselves too often and we can't get out of our mindsets because we trick ourselves. Many drugs, if taken long enough do actually physically addict your body, added onto by the fact that you think you need it, even subconsciously. Anorexics trick themselves into thinking they need to be perfect, and try so hard chasing that high that they become disgusting. Rehabs aren't entirely useless, we're social animals and outside help isn't a bad thing, but you have to want the help. Personal Story about brain trickery:At one point in grade school I was getting bullied a lot. After a bit I kept getting sick, fevers, coughs, general feeling like crap and such stuff. I went to see doctors and I either didn't have symptoms or nothing was really wrong with me. But I kept getting sick and missing school. My mom talked to my guidance counselor about it before talking to me. Subconsciously I didn't want to confront my problems, so to avoid them my brain actually made me appear sick all the time so I wouldn't have to go to school. It's not something I thought about, it isn't even something I wanted. Your brain can, and if you let it, will trick you. God dammit Seany, STOP SHARING MY MIND" I believe in something greater than myself. A better world. A world without sin. I'm not going to live there. There's no place for me there...
