Angerr
10 years ago
It angers me when people who don't suffer from depression thinks you can automatically "cure" it by "being happy for once"
EXAMPLE:
person1: im depressed
person2: have u tried being happy for once
??? It does not work that way???
Depression is random. There is no reason or cause for it to appear.
Something amazing could happen to you and you can be completely happy then BOOM suddenly you're depressed.
Depression is a mental illness. It stays with you. It's not every day sadness that others tend to think it is.
"i failed my test im sad :(" is not depression "i feel empty and i want to be alone and not do anything" is depression.
I have depression. I can still be "happy". I can still smile, laugh, and so on. But that doesn't change the fact that I still have depression.
You can still have depression and be happy. so that argument doesn't really work.

no my fave
are the friends who are like "Oh no I totally understand that you are mentally ill and it's okay to be sick I love you there's nothing wrong with u and we all have bad days"
and then, as an actual person suffering from a severe mental illness, I have a neurotic breakdown and those same friends are suddenly like
"dude wtf is wrong with you please stop you're freaking me out"
haha. hahahaha. ha.
trust me if I could stop the voices in my head with a snap of my fingers they'd be gone right now. if I could just "calm down" and stop having this panic attack, I WOULD. If I could just "smile" and not be depressed OH MAN I WOULD! RIGHT NOW! /A\ !!!!!!!!!!!! HOW WONDERFUL!
but OH GOSH WHO KNEW, IT DOESN'T WORK LIKE THAT!!!!!!! :D :D :D
lol ///RANT/// sorry just i totally know what you mean and I agree 10000000000% jfc x.x
people like that hurt my brain so much.
if mental illness was "magically" and "automatically" cured i'd be happy as hell.
honestly don't even let them get to you. If they're ignorant, explain it.
if you explain it and they don't care to understand it, they're just not worth your time. Clearly they don't care about you so why should you care about them?
Maybe that sounds harsh but cutting out people who don't care has improved my state of mind overall. It's obviously not going to cure the illness, but you'll feel better about yourself without those kind of people around you.
and that's what clinical,REAL depression is.
I'd know. if I could I would just be the happiest guy on earth,I WANT to be,badly...but my head will not let me.
I get this completely,it angers me as well,and if anything makes me feel worse when people act like this....
it would be nice if depression was automatically cured.
