You will find IceEngel these people have been through more than the two issues you seem to think can lead to depression. People's parents split all the time. People remarry. People cheat. That ain't nothing new sweetheart and guaranteed about 90% of the world has gone through those issues. I'm not one to linger on depression either but I did suffer it so therefore I can't rip into others without knowing their full story. It does mean you are 'weak of mind' at all. Depression has been diagnosed as a legitimate disease. Shall we go ask the medical people why they're wasting their time with these 'lazy' people? Everyone has a different level of tolerance, everyone thinks differently and everyone handles problems differently. At the end of the day, we're all human and humans weren't built to be perfect. So for once, close your mouth. I haven't seen you since I was mod on these forums, and when I did see you then your mouth was running away with shit you had no clue about. If you're happy in life, good for you. But it's people like you that stop people going and talking about their depression. The fear of being called a liar because no one can see depression. Go take your crappy attitude somewhere else because if you continue to stay on this thread I will run you into the ground and I'm fairly certain Chloe won't keep her mouth shut at you either. Thanks.
Not so Krimm. I cried through War Horse. Was in an awful place when my Mum died. Truth is teens fall into any excuse actually make them selves sick to avoid reality. Your too fat, too short, get over it. Your Dog died, Dogs have short lives, it's never easy, smile at his her photo and remember all the great times. Go see a shrink, they will verify, qualify, and quantify the Meds you'll need to survive. Did you fight in a war and your not depresses seek help. Suicide read Dirkheims book. Still the best study on the subject. Ppl don't want to hang with you, of corse not, your depressing.lol. The truth is if you read medical journals on the subject over 80% of "Depressionists" ( professional sympathy mongers) are fake. Most live their fantasy and manage to verify their ailment actually getting sick fat unemployed etc. So what can we do for you other than tell you, you have a screw loose. Your reason for real depression will return again and again, we have no cure, We can medicate but not cure. That's the cold facts. You fakers sympathy seekers, society won't give you the time of day. If your lying in the street ppl will step over you. Truth is everyone that stepped over you has issues and is dealing with them.
IceEngel, I have a very strong sense of pity for the people you apparently take care of. I also pity anyone in your family that gets depressed in the future with you hanging about. People have had depression and gotten over it. So what, going to say to them they were just attention seeking? And since when did you feel it okay to target teens specifically with this issue? Adults say they have depression. I'm an adult. Fairly sure you're supposed to be an adult but fail to act like one. So why are you targeting one age group? Seems to me you've been too busy listening to everyone else and want to gain a slap on the back for 'sticking it to the attention seekers'. And Bretton, I'm sure what you said on IceEngel's wall can be said here too. Please do tell us how everyone here our 'kids'. Fairly certain J0P0 isn't a kid either. Lets see who else tells us that you two are wrong and they aren't children/teens.
Depression to me is like, suicide to your feelings, when your depressed it's hard to feel happy, loved, cared, joyful, and your left with the bad emotions of sadness and madness. If youre under going depression and your still here today, your stronger then the best of us.
Sorry to burst your intellectual opinion bubble, but just because you cried during one movie.. Smh. my friend has had depression since he was 11, and he's almost 30 now. He has his days. But he's not on medicine anymore and he has other ways of dealing with it. He didnt ask for it. He grew up in a close family that had no divorce issues, or shiz. His parents are still together and he never dealt with any open bullying. And yet? He still is depressed. I also have had a good family life, no pets dying, no rivalry. But I have been depressed. There are days I drag myself out of bed to face the day, even though I would rather cry myself back to sleep. I have a life to make the best of so I do and when life is at it's worst? It can only get better. Stop being disgusted. If you don't like what some of us deal with, or that we are discussing it in this thread, then don't read it. We appreciate open opinions, but please keep your misplaced judgements to yourself.
Well said Darkhorse I'll go stand in the corner. Never said depression is not real, just most the ppl who claim to be. Maybe a slap in the face is all they need. I only mentioned 2 issues, I have a list like everyone else. There is nothing special about a person that's permanently depressed. It's a mental illness we can't cure at this time. The other mental illnesses way more alarming. Watch TV and you can't avoid the save the children ads. I adopted 2 now. Is your life this hard living in the free world? I get letters with tiny little things which make these 2 girls happy while living in a hut with a dirt floor.
I'm not a teen and I have multiple college diplomas from well known colleges and I suffer from depression. Can I see a shrink no bcuz it will screw up my career. @iceethel u say your not a hater. Well you are. This was (b4 you came) a place for ppl to express there feelings abt there depression. But you clearly feel superior to all of us. That you had to come in and try to bash us calling us lazy attentions seeking teens. Please see urself out of this thread since ur so much happier then us. With that you will just lighten up the tunnel of darkness were in. Thank and enjoy ur magnificent life.
Thank you for sharing your joyful superior life with us @IceEngel As now that all has been said, would you escort your happy cheery self into a perkier thread?
A Mall Cop telling me she'll run me into the ground! Against Tou ? Who knows. Now that's depressing. Okay sorry for the reality check. I hope it kicked a few of you off the couch.
Why you say these people are attention seekers when in every post you've made you bring up something about yourself or life as if it makes you some sort of saint? And read your first post, dear. You put everyone in this thread in one basket and called them fake and attention seeking. Granted I will be the first to say young teens AND adults can milk being depressed and I have tore into quite a few on forums that bullshit people about it, but unless you have solid proof that these people are lying then why on gods green earth are you making their lives just that little bit more difficult? It this thread directly affecting you? I don't think it is. So let the group have their discussion and keep your mouth closed unless you're actually going to give a constructive and somewhat neutral opinion.
I really needed something like this today. For me depression is overwhelming, I feel so mentally drained I can barely make it through some days. It's exhausting putting up a facade around co-workers, friends, and family; and even with all these people around I feel so alone because none of them are in the same position as me. I just feel like I'm barely treading water and soon I'm going to sink.
Well that made no sense. In any case, off the couch? Wtf? Nobody was on the couch. I think it's perfectly acceptable to politely ask somebody to leave under certain terms. That is all I did.
Besides @IceEngel, you call us fake attention seekers, and assume all depressed are teens. You're only drawing all the attention in this thread to yourself as you make an invalid point based on personal opinion.
