No one can make your life mean something to you. Your life is what you make of it, this is coming from someone who has been through more than their fair share of pain and disappointment. If you don't like something, change it. You don't need someone else to come along and be a "knight in shining armor" - those people don't exist. Don't get me wrong, there are some great people out there still, but not one that can magically make every thing better.
"What I really want for Christmas is for someone to come to me and tell me that they're going to change things for me. That they're going to make my life something more than hell," this wish is something you should reconsider. Think about what you are doing to the holidays, you've made this huge, impossible wish.. so when it doesn't come true you are just going to be disappointed once again. Be your own hero and make things happen.
There is always going to be an excuse of why you can't do this or can't do that, so stop paying attention to them. The only reason you shouldn't be able to do something is if your life become endangered or it's illegal, landing you in jail.

= _ = I can tell that you're trying to be really nice here to get me up off my butt and do something with my life, but I'm not some useless chick who just sits there, lets her life rot and complains about it. I try really hard. Sometimes really bad things just happen a lot to good people, though... I don't need a knight in shining armor. I just need people to be nice to me the way I am to them. Because the majority of people who talk to me are giant jerks and just make my life shitty because they're mean people. I want to meet NICE people. People who will change my life from awful to good!

Sorry if that sounded kinda blunt.

Oh no, I didn't mean to make it sound rude or mean at all. It's pretty much what I had to tell myself to kick start my mindset that no one could hurt me unless I let them. You're right, life likes to kick good people a lot more than the bad ones it seems. There are always going to be people that only think of themselves though. That's their problem, not ours. I believe in Karma, it may take a while to get back, but it's there. If they continue on the road they are on, it will come back at them. As for meeting nice people, I have met a few in my life-time, but not as many as I would have hoped. Like I said earlier, people tend to only care about themselves nowadays. It's a terrible loss in the humanity-part of being human, having emotions, and life in general. I can't tell you where to find these good people, they kind of just pop up when you least expect them. All I can tell you is to let go of those negative people, make room for the positive and it will find you.
I know I can sound a tad crazy some times, or even rude. I apologize, many people have said that I get to sounding like that, it's never my intentions. I just want to help :)

Ahh, okay. ;u; I understand completely. It really is too bad that a lot of people tend to think only of themselves, though.
Maybe it was just because I was kinda frustrated when I read your comment that I found it to sound a little rude, but I understand that you were just trying to help me uvu Thank you very much, dear. <3

It's not a problem. I wish people were more helpful when it comes to others, especially to the ones that need it. I think I heard on the radio a couple days ago about, over 78% of people nationwide believe that the majority of people in the world can be trusted? That is extremely high in my opinion :( It's so sad that people have cut humanity out of their lives.

Depression is a mindset. If you believe you have it, then you do - embrace positivity, and it disappears. Really is that simple. The journey into changing the mindset is the hardest. You get the energy that you release, release negativity - get negativity in return, release positive - and your well-being is more illuminated compared to the darkness of depression. No one needs pills to get rid of something that is simply in their own mind. Only psychiatrists that aren't in the business for money, but there to actually help someone, will tell you something like that though. The only things that psychiatric drugs do are cause addictions, and create more patients. Find a good psychiatrist is like finding a nice person in this world though, it's hard, but possible.

No it's a mindset. By telling people it is a disease you are only going to enable it more. By the way, I have been "diagnosed" as having Major Depression, AD/HD, Bipolar Disorder, among many other fun little things from the time I was 5 years old. I have been on more medications than any one person should be, I have been institutionalized multiple times from the ages 5 to 18; so I can speak about this and know what I am talking about. I also have PTSD and Abandonment issues. So there you go, assuming since you said I wouldn't understand, you were assuming I have never known about "mental illnesses", these things are why I went to college to become a psychiatrist. Instead of turning every thing into "diseases", I want to actually help people learn about how to cope with life along with how to embrace who they are. Granted there are some mental issues that do need medication, but not life-long like a lot of doctors will tell you. Mental "problems" come from your own mind, and you can change them.

Actually, I hate to barge in, but it actually a chemical imbalance in the brain that does affect certain people. Depression is different from normal sadness, which can be changed by changing one's mindset. I have studied psychology all my life and have a four-year degree in the field, so I do have backing behind my statements. Some people think that you can just change from being depressed to being totally happy, but if you actually have the chemical imbalance then you have clinical depression, and it is something that can be dealt with using combinations of medication and proper training on how to deal with the symptoms of depression, but it can not as of now be cured.

I do as well, and I stand by my statement that it can be altered by changing the way you think. Everything that is a mental illness can be changed, though, it will not go away completely - and I never said it would. Every one suffers from depression at some point in their life - you either learn to cope with the things that trigger this depression, or you go to a therapist and get diagnosed, spending tons of money every month/year/lifetime. I have been without medication for any of my diagnosed "problems" since I was 18 years old. It does come back, though if you learn how to cope or acknowledge the signs of when it is coming on, you will be able to handle it without those medications. Depression isn't like seizures or multiple personality disorder - it's more like PTSD, and can be controlled if you have the right mindset. You do not need medications for that, in fact all the medications do is alter your mindset more, causing more disorders.

Well, we obviously disagree here.
