Legitimate depression cannot be "cured," it can only only treated in which you can enter a state of recovery/remission.

I will now use this whenever someone asks how I’m doing and my depression is having a low day.

Depends. There are two types of depression. The chemical imbalance one and something called "situational depression" (which, this is a personal opinion, but I think majority of ppl w depression have situational depression rather than the actual chemical illness and that chemical imbalance depression is overdiagnosed because it's easier to give someone a pill than to give them real emotional supports until they get out of whatever shìtty life situation they're in). Situational depression is completely curable but they have to recognize that's what it is first and work towards getting away from whatever is destroying their mental health

I should have chosen my words more carefully. Clincal depression/Depressive disorder cannot be treated. Situational depression, along with seasonal depression, is a grey area. I personally get a little frustrated with those being alternate terms, because everyone experiences mood shifts that can be influenced by their environment, but that is basic human emotion, whether it's intense, or mild. Semantics, I know, but I guess it's relative to people saying they're depressed when they're just sad (or bipolar because they're short tempered or bit.chy). I know it can become full blown major depressive disorder if left untreated though, so it's just as important to take care of. Just my personal opinion though, not a professional one. :lol:
 
Yeah those people like that do not know how i feel everytime they did something that truly hurts me. Friendship is not what they after. I am just so sick of people being friendly and nice to me just to take all benefits out of me. I support this thread! Thank you so much for sharing. Truly grateful to hear it!
 
When you feel really down, and feels like nothing seems to be going to the right direction.. watch food videos. Food is always right.

not going to quote it, but i will say that whether or not you need support when you’re going through it is different from person to person, because everyone is different. personally, knowing that someone cares is really helpful for me ??‍♂️ pushing away people who may not fully understand but want to help will just ultimately hurt you in the long run

A stranger (such as op) doesn't rly wanna help tho. It's easy to say you do but ppl w depression need the unconditional love of the ones who actually care for them not. This thread woulda been better as 'sending positive vibes' kinda thing rather than a 'I will be here for you even though idk you' thing.

i agree. that wasn’t necessarily directed towards op, but towards people in general, since i noticed more than a few being negative.

So when did a war game turn into a mental health app?

This is not a game actually. A Game should make someone use some skills.
Yeah there might be some strategy things in this game but this is not actually a game. Many are using this as a tinder and I'm actually using this like some social media TBH.
This app can do a lot more better if it adds some of the features from other social media apps lol

It used to be a war game, and parts of it still are. Why do you think you build stats? To use them for fighting other people.

Y'all depressed asshats turned it into tinder for depressed people.

yo man food is one of the worst ways to comfort ones self. like, watch it all u want, but eventually if u eat food as a comfort u will balloon.

legit, using food as comfort is how 9/10 my 600lb life patients got to their size. (its also how i gained 80lbs in a year ages ago)

and food comfort habits are the hardest to break bc u need food to live-- so if u wanna lose weight u gotta portion like crazy and find a new comfort.

? everything in moderation kids ?
 
As wonderful as this thought is and as much as I resonate with, the internet is incapable of letting us enjoy ourselves

No not at all. Op just has the wrong idea of depression.
 
You are not going to find real friendship on a screen... or in a dog for that matter. This generation has been so screwed up by technology and bad parents.

Meet people. Attend church. Make friends. Find a hobby. Get married. And have as many children as you naturally can. Live as we are intended to live.

Having loads of children will literally cause more world problems than only having one or two
