Depressed people definitely aren't doing it for attention. When people are depressed for long periods of time, like many with chronic depression are, their support systems crumble, leading to lonliness and making the depression even worse. It's not just "in their heads", and they can't just "get over it", "snap themselves out of it", or "pull themselves up by their boot straps", like people may suggest to them. This is actually one of the most hurtful things you can tell someone who is suffering from a pervasive mental illness. It's a physical chemical imbalance going on inside the brain, and it affects the whole body. Many depressed people have weakened immune systems, sleeping problems, physical pain, hormonal imbalances, digestive problems, and many other physical symptoms. Imagine telling someone with diabetes, well just get over it and stop taking your insulin, you're obviously just doing this to get symapthy. But people suffering from depression and other mental illnesses hear these type of messages commonly, even from those close to them. This can lead to delays in care, and cause them to blame themselves for a disease that is out of their control. What you can do for someone who is depressed or mentally ill is be their friend. It may be difficult because they may have periods where they isolate, get angry easily, or even seem overly confident and cheerful. But being there for them can make such a difference. Even occasional phone calls or remembering them on the holidays can mean that they aren't suffering in silence. You may then also be able to spot the warning signs that they are becoming suicidal and save a life.

What they imagine is in there heads, what happens as a consequence of this is definitely not in there heads, they see it clear as day
What really bothers me is when people use these words wrong. I have had depression. I have had suicidal thoughts. Depression is not just extreme sadness, it's when you start to believe that things aren't going to get any better, or when you start asking questions like "What's the point of living?" or "Would anyone even care if I died?". To anyone reading this I promise it will get better, and trust me there's always people who'd care even if you've forgotten about them.
Stella, dead, thank you for you inputs, I hope that even one person may have read your posts and realised something
The ignorance in this thread is too much, remember that saying you were told as a kid? If you have nothing good to say, don't say anything. Oh and the golden rule, "Treat other the way you wanna be treated." Got it? Good
