shut the fuck up stefgi32, youre getting owned.
Really? Then why am I laughing? You all by getting angry and responding with "SHUT THE FUCK OMG YOU'RE SO STUPID" is making my day.
Anyway, you continue insulting and thinking you're owning me, and I'll move on to AusBluesMan who has posted something decent..actually explaining to me why he feels I'm wrong without being rude..we can have a civil discussion.
You cannot simply change your mood by undertaking an activity that you enjoy, comparing yourself to others, talking with someone once and 'getting over it'.
I agree with you.
It does not simply mean that. People suffering from depression have a chemical imbalance in their brain that inhibits the "happy" emotions. They can also have social and psychological conditions brought on by third parties (usually traumatic, disturbing or extremely unpleasant over a long period of time). Extensive bullying in primary school often leads to psychological and social depression. Depression can also be a learned condition from a parental figure (you take in personality traits as a young child).
I agree with you, but see there are reasons as to why a person is bullied..because they differ from the norm, or they're socially awkward..and these are things that you cannot change, which is why I say sometimes depression cannot be cured. If someone is consistently bullied or excluded for who they are, how can you expect them to ever be happy? Unless they are able to love themselves regardless of what anyone else thinks, that is not possible..at least, I do not think it is..this is talking from personal experience, I really hate to do this because I'll be getting the whole "you're wanting us to feel sorry for you, fuck off", but I don't know how else to explain myself.
I was bullied throughout my primary school years because I was very feminine for a guy and I guess a little socially awkward..and on top of that, I was a bit spoilt. I've worked on not acting so spoilt and accepting I can't get my way all the time....and I've gotten very far with that but things like being feminine and I guess "different"....I can't help that, I don't know how else to act. Like, I have my small group of friends here and there but I'm not super close to anyone because I generally don't click with most people..not that I hate them or vice versa, we just don't connect..I've tried fitting in and all that shit, and it only got me so far....and I wasn't happy, because I wasn't myself and I was always thinking "what am I doing wrong..what is everyone thinking of me?"..perhaps if I loved myself, that wouldn't matter but I do not and I cannot just say "oh get over it..love yourself"..it doesn't work that way. There were people in my primary years who were kinda like that also...different personal conflicts, but they also were picked on and bullied and felt excluded because they were 'different' and just didn't know how to interact with people....years later, I catch up with one of them....she spent the whole convo bitching about things that happened in year 4, and the next day she went to me talking about how a friend betrayed her trust and I'm like "wtf? shouldn't be talking about this to one of your closer firneds..who actually talks to you on a regular basis, not someone you just caught up with yesterday after how many years??"...after all these years, she still doesn't get it..she doesn't get how to interact with people, and I know she's had counselling but its like....once a weirdo, always a weirdo. I can't if she's unhappy with it or not, but I highly doubt she is if she's leeching onto me a day after she found me on facebook.
Chemical imbalance.
Social conditioning.
Psychological disorder.
Clinically recognised.
It's not just a different point of view. It's induced. It's dangerous. And it is in NO WAY self induced or wanted. Why else do depressed people often ask "Why aren't I happy?", "I want to be happy again".
Yes, depression is sometimes brought upon by things that people experience..but two people can have the same experience and react towards it differently, which is why I say it is a point of view. Lets say we have two brothers, equally close to their mother and the mother dies..one might grieve for a while and move on, while the other will spend years or even the rest of his life depressed..which is why I said, some people if pushed in a pool with swim...some will sink.
So you're saying let the mentally ill commit suicide when there's a very large chance of cure? Why not kill anyone with any other type of mental illness? It's basically doing the same thing.
Why help someone who does not want to be helped?..if they want help, then yes good on them help them but if they don't want it....there comes a point where you have to throw in the towel and say "they have to help themselves before anyone can help them any further".
