Depression is just rage turned inwards.

Nope, depression is caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain.

I should know, I had it for 4 years. The meds they put me on fucked me up even more and gave me a chronic anxiety disorder which robbed me of a further 3 years, the first year was the worse with severe agrophobia and just about every other phobia you could dream of. I thought everything was going to kill me, showering was going to burn me to death, bathing as going to drown me, eating was going to choke me, If i left the bed I was going to die of a heart attack.

anyhow, depression is a serrious illness and it sucks to be ridiculed because of it. My family didn’t believe in depression, especially when I got it. It robbed me of my schooling too. I failed my senior years twice and only passed with a d+ average.

I encourage you to help those who have depression as simply having someone talk to you about it can get you through the day and into the next.

People with depression can be suicidal or self harming, simply cause they can not get themselves out of the pit of darkness they find themselves in.

I personally attribute my long period of depression and anxiety to the reason I have become so jaded as I am now.

In short, depression can rob someone of their very life and alter their personality irreparably to the point that they no longer resemble the person they once were.

Intervention is part of the cure.
Don’t let a already crippled person suffer more at the hands of others.

Step up and help them out because who knows, the next person could be you.

I hear you. I have been depressed since I was nine, so I have been depressed for 6 years. Mine started off minor, but then became more and more extreme. Depression can severely destroy someone mentally and ruin their life on a huge scale, from relationships, to future, to overall health, it can fuck you up. My depression has given me a 2.27 gpa. I am still trying to get it up. Depression is definately one of the most painful diseases in the world.

And yet people make fun of people who have it or just dismiss them as being sad or putting it on.

You know what I find really fucked up, those people see a Cancer victim and go aww, they see an Athsmatic and sympathize, they see someone who has been abused and help them out...yet they feel the need to pick on someone who is sick, just as sick as any of the other illnesses that people feel so sorry for.

Just cause it may not have a massive physical change, doesn’t mean its not real.

I lost track of the times I harmed myself just to feel something, cutting, burning, dislocating joints, throwing myself in front of cars, stabbing myself repeatedly, in short, harming myself just to know I’m alive. I did this despite the love of another helping me. Now for all you sick fucks out there, what do you think is gonna happen to those who suffer manic depression and don’t have anyone.

I will give you a hint. they will go somewhere quiet and isolated and well..lets just say, you never see them alive again.

Teen depression is a serrious issue and one that needs to be addressed.

Depression is a mental illness where it is a chemical imbalance in the brain that pretty much fucks up the way the sufferer handles emotion. The sufferer will feel sad, angry, lonely, helpless, stupid, hopeless, irritable, worthless, etc.

You can tell someone is depressed when they are very very quiet and are pretty much loners, seem unconfident and sad, dont stand up for themselves, and not do homework. Those are few signs that people can recognize if you are not a close friend of theirs and have talked to them.

Why do you think Sunday is a Depression day? Because when we are kids it’s the last day of the weekend and we get sad because we have to go back to school. This stays with you when you get older and you get the same feeling on Sunday’s no matter what you have to do the next day, whether it’s work, a day off, vacation ect..

So what you have to do is remind yourself that your brain is programmed to get depressed in situations you were so used too, and you have to find a way to clear and get rid of this out of the sub-conscious part of your brain.

They don’t even think of EFT, Omega-3 fatty acids, or, God forbid, exercising outside.

Or maybe some emotional support.

There is the normal feeling “depression” which is just normal old sadness, and then there is the actual mental disease depression. The disease is started from chemical imbalances, and fucks up the way you process emotion, and it comes out as a combination of saddness, lonliness, helplessness, hopelessness, guilt, anger, etc.

Everybody gets sad on Sunday. It has nothing to do with the disease of depression. I am always sad and pissed on Sunday, just like everyone.

Your brain is, yes, programmed to get sad in certain situations. But when one is clinically depressed, they have the same painful feeling for weeks, months, even years with no break in between. Just everlasting pain.

Do you think that a person can control his imbalances? Or is it really a disease per say?
I personally think it’s the person’s choice but these real bad ones choose to make themselves worse.
