12.12.12 | "or when I want to feel depressed."
Yeah.
You've never experienced depression in your life if you "want to feel depressed". |
YoYoMancuso
12.12.12 | I've always connected The Bends, especially the song "Bullet Proof" to nearly every depressing experience in my lifetime. |
Calc
12.12.12 | I've never felt depressed in my life how does it feel? |
YoYoMancuso
12.12.12 | The most succinct way to describe it is that it is a feeling that absolutely nothing matters anymore. |
Winrar
12.12.12 | Depression is a long term effect, what you are feeling is called pussy sadness. You can't just suddenly feel depressed, it's something that requires treatment and you can't tell someone who suffers depression to cheer up. |
bakkermaarten007
12.12.12 | depression does not equal feeling sad. Jeez, when are people finally going to get that? |
YoYoMancuso
12.12.12 | ^^^ |
YoYoMancuso
12.12.12 | depression is an overused word in general |
Winrar
12.12.12 | People who ACTUALLY suffer from depression get shadowed by attention seeking pussies who post "im deprezed" statuses. The whole word is taken lightly and as a joke. Depression can actually be fatal if not treated correctly. Just because you got dumped by your girlfriend or your dog ran away, does not mean you're depressed. |
YoYoMancuso
12.12.12 | Today's generation basically defines a bad mood as 'depression'. That could not be further from the truth. Two of my friends recently got diagnosed and I've struggled with it time and time again. It's definitely nothing to take lightly. |

12.12.12 | "Hopefully you won't have to experience that"
Exactly, seems like it's popular to be called depressed nowadays. But losing the capacity to feel anything and the urge (in extreme cases) to kill yourself is like the most horrible thing I could imagine. |
bakkermaarten007
12.12.12 | My brother had severe depression, it was like he was possessed or something. Only thinking about killing himself, man the agony I felt back then. Only meds could help him, luckily he got them just in time. |

12.12.12 | meds are fucked |

12.12.12 | "meds are fucked"
I've read some disturbing things about them as well, heck my psychiatrist even suggested me to take them for my social anxiety but I refused. I do know that my brother wouldn't be alive if it wasn't for the meds. |
sspedding
12.12.12 | list maker is a complete and utter arsehat. No idea about depression. |
pmmets07
12.12.12 | plenty of people get depressed. we know it doesn't just mean "sad" and isn't as transient as a bad
mood. but to feel as though your "depression" gives you the right to talk down to people as if you
seen it all is stupid/attention seeking. |
pmmets07
12.12.12 | liek omg shut up ur not depressed I AM |

12.12.12 | "Exactly, seems like it's popular to be called depressed nowadays."
Meh, I think it's just the association of depression with the 'loner' concept. It's (the loner) always been romanticized to some extent, nothing new. |

I would like if they would just associate it with ' the dark night of the soul'. Depression is taken too lightly nowadays. |

12.12.12 | I've been diagnosed with depression, shit sucks but I've got meds so its likely not as bad as it could be. |

Ignimbrite
12.12.12 | I have never experienced *real* depression, but every now and again I have a day when I feel "depressed." Those days, my go-to is to jam Somewhere Along the Highway really loudly until the people in the dorms next to me complain. |
sspedding
12.12.12 | unfortunately depression is a condition that can only be understood when experienced. |

12.12.12 | Hep speaks the truth, as even though I've never had it happen myself I've had friends who've gone through bouts of legitimate depression and it's pretty miserable. |
YoYoMancuso
12.12.12 | i think the overabundance of "bipolar" teenagers and 20somethings is more annoying
My friend's has bipolar since she was 15 (which was about 10 years ago). When it's severe, it can be pretty damaging. |

12.12.12 | Don't forget about the overabundance of teenagers and 20somethings that also claim to have major OCD |
MeatSalad
12.12.12 | Hep im glad you can still keep that going, my last girlfriend left me because of all the issues I was having related to depression. If there's one thing worse than being depressed, its being depressed and alone. |

my brother has proper, severe OCD so this annoys me when people do it |

12.13.12 | "Don't forget about the overabundance of teenagers and 20somethings that also claim to have major OCD"
OK guys now we're stretching it, everyone knows when some says they're OCD it's just shorthand for saying they're concerned with neatness and shit.
This is going to turn into a semantics thing isn't it? |
Trebor.
12.13.12 | I got pretty mild depression, generally the less shit I have going on in my life the more likely I am to feel depressed
Runs in the family like a motherfucker |

12.13.12 | I've dealt with depression about half my life, on a very serious level. Life just sucks like you won't believe. |
Trebor.
12.13.12 | I don't get how all these musicians write great shit when they're depressed cuz when I'm depressed I don't feel inspired or even feel like doing anything
Maybe they write right after |
bakkermaarten007
12.13.12 | Well trebor, there are many forms of depression. From mild to severe, but also manically depressed and dystymia. Maybe you're manically depressed, just guessing. |
bakkermaarten007
12.13.12 | Severe depression is a bitch, that's the (most) suicidal form. |
YoYoMancuso
12.13.12 | ^ i'm lucky to have never had that, i know several people who still struggle with it to this day. |

I don't know about depression, but whenever I feel lonely or just generally down in spirits my ability to write interesting things (whether it be a short story or just an observation) goes up tenfold. |
Turtlestlker
12.13.12 | I've never claimed I was depressed because I don't want to grow up, realize it was just teenage angst and feel like a dumbass. Its nothing to fuck with and people shouldn't use it for attention. |
Destructerator
12.13.12 | I think depression is a side effect of us not working the fields or something in this age. Whenever I go ride my bike or something it goes away.
The sad thing is I don't think we'll evolve a resistance to it because we're all medicated. |
bakkermaarten007
12.13.12 | "I think depression is a side effect of us not working the fields or something in this age." Yeah maybe, we are inside too much, people are social beings and need to interact. This doesn't happen nearly enough.
But..."Whenever I go ride my bike or something it goes away."
Lol no, then it's just you feeling blue. Not depression. |

Well kind of, doing certain things can make you feel better or worse, I'm sure if I was homeless or some shit I would be depressed more often, and if I was banging Allison Brie every night I'd have less depression episodes |
Keyblade
12.13.12 | listen to Nights Amore - Subscribers of Death, it's like the soundtrack to depression |
pmmets07
12.13.12 | doing shit (e.g. riding bikes, jogging, going on vacation, etc.) only helps depression temporarily.
at
the end of the day it's up to you to reassess yourself and make some internal changes if you want to
start feeling better. easier said than done, of course. |

12.13.12 | """I think depression is a side effect of us not working the fields or something in this age." Yeah maybe, we are inside too much, people are social beings and need to interact. This doesn't happen nearly enough. "
so true. and people are under extreme stress
"I don't get how all these musicians write great shit when they're depressed cuz when I'm depressed I don't feel inspired or even feel like doing anything

idk, I think they just gush their feelings out into music and it's almost instinctive. music written by happy musicians often sounds contrived and unnatural |

12.13.12 | For me I think it's mostly anxiety but I find that 90% of the time I feel hopeless self-loathing, and then every now and then I'll feel happy for a bit. |
