People tend to not take stuff like depression or suicide seriously unless it happens to them or someone close to them. It's hard to care about something you cannot relate to. While it would be nice for people to watch what they say, we will never have a time where we will not encounter negative reactions. So, everyone needs to become stronger too. Sometimes, people also cannot see the difference between someone who is negative but trying to help and someone who is really just being a jerk.
Everyone has bad days, and everyone gets sad. I think that those people try to relate that to people with actual clinical depression. But it is not the same thing at all. It's not a choice, and you sure as hell don't get any attention from it. When you are dealing with a mental illness, you automatically become the outcast to your family and friends (if they even stick around). You try to hide it from people because society makes you feel ashamed about it. When I am depressed, my skin actually hurts, I want to rip it off. The sun doesn't look as bright. Flowers and trees are less colorful. Food doesn't taste as good and things lose their smell. Besides the sadness and lack of motivation, all of my other senses become dulled. I know the world is beautiful, I just don't feel like being a part of it. A Newsweek article I was reading stated that more people in the United States now die by suicide than by car accidents. Most of us wear our seat belts and obey traffic laws and encourage others to do so. But if someone is depressed, they should receive that same encouragement to go to the doctor and a therapist. And there should be decent and effective mental health care available to everyone. People should not be locked up in "hospitals" that on the inside look more like prisons without the guards, and lose their family and friends because they are sick. It is a very deadly disease, it just doesn't kill you the same way that cancer or heart disease does.
Fun fact...its fun to make fun of depressed people, and depressed people deserve to be made fun of for trying to depress the rest of us!! Cheer up, grumpy butt and move along
Jesus, this is a game...why the emo crap everyday... And I can relate quite well with the subject, More that I care to elaborate on with a bunch of random strangers... Maybe it's just me, but I think people who may be feeling down would rather not encounter EVEN more of the same, and of all places, a GAME Makes me want to go jump off a bridge tbh All you peoples with your emotional issues, go away, go play meegos or kardashians or something?
Real depression isn't funny at all. A lot will overreact or choose to be miserable to draw attention but when someone suffers actual depression it's very difficult to get out of. I've been there and it took a long while just to figure out how to be "okay".
True Wolf, but 99% of people who are "depressed" nowadays are either 1) seeking attention, or 2) too much of a weenie to do anything about being depressed. I agree, true depression is no laughing matter. But most people who are "depressed" simply need to get off the couch, phone, computer, Xbox, or whatever and DO something about it. Depression doesn't go away, you have to make it go away. Stop being "depressed" and go make yourself happy. Sitting there thinking and complaining about how depressed you are is NEVER a solution to anything
Ive won many English debates in English competitions among students from other schools. And really sorry, having arguments with old cyber ppl w/ less education, less life actv, less interaction w/ RL ppl, less productivity in RL is most difficult one (well if youre annoyed by my words you should change your lifestyle＆environment) They said are depressed cos of lack of abilities, probs in rl, not being accepted in rl→→but why still waste time, live in cyber world, flirt ppl, get involved in dramatic dramas instead SOLVE their probs in rl? If you find depressed ppl in game world, pls leave them＆tell them to be tough＋fix their life＋find friends in rl, DONT accompany them in ol world, even for years. Im not meanie, its for their good future＆to avoid them being more depressed in future. I have pimd friend, hes too negative＆always depressed, but then he lived in ol world for years, been comfy ACCOMPANIED by married ppl w/ children＆ol girls (w/ less life). Guess what? Hes happy at start, no worries in ol world, but in END he cried, suddenly is OLD after 'wake up' from ol world, doesn't even have degree nor job in rl. Taptaping everyday in ol world wont change your life better. Youre being moreeee behind from your rl friends. Treat game only A GAME, not rl world, nor real organization, nor runaway life, nor social media, nor good experiences to be put in your rl CV. Time keeps running when youre sleeping in ol world while your friends in rl are making achievements. YOBYO you only be young once♡♪♪
I hired my farm once and he told me to check my tc, so I did. In tc, he said he was standing on a bridge, ready to jump. I said please do. The next morning he was still spouting off in tc. I guess pissing me off was more important than jumping.
