Title: Why are you depressed?
Post by: Osmose on February 06, 2005, 02:31:06 AM

I've never understood what can drive so many teenagers to thinking they're depressed. People are always complaining about how bad their life is, and how much so and so hurts them emotionally, but I've never been able to understand how they can feel that way about such petty things.

For example, your girlfriend leaves you. That is something to be sad about, but it's no reason to go so far as to declare that your depressed and sit in a room all day crying about it. How can you go that far over something that, in retrospect, probably wasn't going to be all that important in your life anyway? And, yes, I have gone through that kind of rejection. Big whoop.

depression is an illness. either the person that has claimed to be depressed has this illness and it needs to be treated, or the person is just a drama queen and needs to mellow out.

 I'll list.

I am thirteen whereas all of my friends are 21,22, and 25. Bieng as that is, I cannot see them. So. That basicly: I have no friends. I hate most people my own age. Making school a veritable hell. My dad was in AA for two years and then I found massive amounts of liquor under his sink. He is currently "trying" to recover.

So, let's review: I have no friends, My dads an alchoholic.

Right on.

My perants are divorced, everyone my age thinks I'm creepy. So If I even wanted a friend, I couldn have one, I moved from where I lived all my life, leaving the places I love and all of my friends. Most of which, I have knows seince I was 2 1/2. Someone has attempted murder on me once in a situation involving heroine... Uh... No I don't do heroine.

Ok. So again. Review: No friends, perants divorced, friends living in 45 mins away or across country (was in VA now in CA), I miss Virginia, Dad's an alchi, was only assualted in an attempt of murder leaving an emotional scar, I have nothing to do with my life.

If you don't feel that's enough, I'll list more. But right now, I need to go do something more worthwhile. I know it doesn't seem like much.. I just don't want to go into details.

Okay, I bet you all don't know how a real depression is really like.

So let's say why I'm depressed.

I'm depressed because I want to feel depressed. If I'm depressed at least everything around me seems okay.

Post by: SnakeIzeGambit on February 06, 2005, 03:24:31 AM

i dont kno bout the whole neck thing but i have been stabbed.

and since u think ur life is so bad allow me to give u a lil glimpse into my life:

Family life- i was born in Brooklyn, moved about 5 times just to end up back in BK. My mother cheated on my dad and had a kid(my lil bro), my dad got arrested for assault(he attacked the guy with an ax)they got divorced, got back together after 3 years apart and moved upstate. i guess my mother was still cheatin on him so they fought alot until he began tryin to kill her on several occassions (i had to get involved alot). He got arrested again and then was also found guilty of embezzling $ from his job. My mom dropped the charges and then paid for him to get out. they got divorced and he has a P.O and is still paying the company back. Now I take care of my brother 5 outta 7 days cuz my mom works 3 jobs in the city so she stays at her BF's house in yonkers on weekdays.

Outside the fam: Im part of a musical group called Snake-Ize. this group of 5 are the leaders of a bigger group of the same name. Yes i do mean a gang. We've been thru alot. We have a rival gang called TCT and 4 the past 3 yearswe have been fighting on a regular basis. Ive been stabbed, shot with a BB pistol from up close(who woulda thought it hurt so much), ive had many attempts on my life. Ive been in trouble with the bloods becuz TCT stole a good amount of "mary jane" that we were pushin for them. i walk in my own house carryin a switchblade at all times becuz people have broken into my house to fight me.



yea i kno the whole outside the fam thing i brought onto myself but it is the life i live. I try my best to keep my brother out of everything and i hope that he never gets involved in the **** im in.

and the reason i mentioned the psychiatrist was becuz i had to c one for about 4 yrs for anger management. Thanx for readin my life story(even tho i left alot out since it was taking too long)

I'm not trying to be melodramatic or anything. It's not that my life sucks, it's that my "life" is almost nonexistant. I also didn't say anything about mine being worse. Mines not even in the same ballpark. You can't quite compare it. Yours seems to center around things happening to other people you know well. Gary, go swallow some glue.

Title:
Post by: SnakeIzeGambit on February 06, 2005, 03:36:24 AM

thats cuz i worry about others more than myself. the things that have happened to me i usuakky keep to myself. Things that happen to my group aand Fam are the only things i usually discuss.
and yea i can see how having a nonexistant life can suck. Even tho alot of bad things have happened in my life i can at least say ive had an interesting and somewhat exciting life

Sorry, can't. I'm on a fat-rich diet, and glue doesn't fit in it.

What about that 'I can't belive it's not glue!' I hear it works wonders.

And Snake, I didn't mean it like that. I know very well that things heppening to people you know can be terrible. Such as my sister trying to commit suicide while I was 7.

Post by: Osmose on February 06, 2005, 03:42:57 AM

So this is turning into a "Who's been tortured the most" thread, eh? I've already explained MY life experiences before, and it only makes me less comfortable. But, to claim my spot in the tortured souls list, I have been attacked several times by both my brother and people on the streets(for being related to my brother). Not to mention I'm stuck in this hell hole called Florida. Lost all me old friends.

"No friends, perants divorced, friends living in 45 mins away or across country (was in VA now in CA), I miss Virginia, Dad's an alchi, was only assualted in an attempt of murder leaving an emotional scar, I have nothing to do with my life. "

Friends(because I, unlike you, take the initiative), parents together, friends in Massachusetts, I miss massachusetts, both parents alcoholics and brother a druggie, assaulted several times, I am a recluse on my computer during all of my free time.

And don't flame. We can discuss, heatedly, but do NOT flame. Even if you want to.

I'll calm down now.

Post by: SnakeIzeGambit on February 06, 2005, 03:57:22 AM

everybody has been depressed at some point in their life but only those that have an illness or those that are drama queens remain in a constant state of depression. Yes it is also true tho that some people are also thrown into depression after suffering traumatic experiences such as being assaulted, watching parents fight, being raped, etc...

Title:
Post by: tyia on February 06, 2005, 06:51:09 AM

Well,since you post this post,here is the reasons I'm depressed:

-My father- the reasons why I depressed about him=
He was never around when I was younger,
he wasn't through my graduations,
H***, he wasn't even there when I was born.=
Reasons why he is gone:
1.)he's in prison.
2.)he cheated on my mom
3.)everything that comes out of his mouth is a lie.

-My Father side of my family.
=reasons:
1.)they think I'm an accident
2.)some treat me like c***
3.)they lied about me not have a 3rd sister(my sisters,my brother,and me have different moms)
4.)they lied to my 3rd sister(saying my mom is a crazy woman)

-School
everyone has the same reasons.

-My Mother side of the Family:
I'm getting pressured to do my school work in order to go to College.(No one in my family had completed college)  


Well,those are the reasons I'm stressed and depressed.:(

People throwing the word "depression" around like it's a rubber ball.  Depression is a medical term for a clinical illness.  People can be diagnosed with this.  How shitty your life is has nothing to do with depression AT ALL.  I would know since I've been diagnosed and I get depressed for no godamn reason.  Quit making this a "My life's shittier than yours" thread.  Depression goes right along with clinical anxiety (which I also have) and it makes you constantly worrysome and sometimes even paranoid for real or imagined reasons.

Yes. People can only be down, but not depressed. The depression most people have is something psychological. I mean, I have had many hardships, hell, I don't even have a girlfriend. BUT do I start with prissy whining? No. I only say others suck, because I'm the world's greatest.

Post by: Osmose on February 06, 2005, 12:41:30 PM

It's kind of sad when we can get to the point of calling depression a medical illness. I've never been "depressed", hence why I even made this thread. But how can you tell me that someone being really really sad is a clinical illness?

Depression pills are basically less potent and less lethal drugs. You get slightly high to feel better. I am ashamed to live in a world where there are doctors telling someone that their sadness is an actual disease. Worse still is that it gives people a reason to mock people who really are depressed by telling them that they don't have depression, because a doctor didn't tell them that they did.

If your going to say it's a sickness, then America is in a depression epidemic. Hell, it's in an obesity and lazyness epidemic too. Let's call in the medical experts of the world to solve all our problems, because surely they can't be actual faults, right?

Apparantly lack of certain vitamins makes you feel depressed.

Me? I visited your 'Hell hole' Florida and when I came back to England the weather alone was enough to make me feel depressed. I wish I lived in Florida.

Im depressed because I haven't had my coffee this morning.

Seriously, I neither want to talk about nor am I going to. I just stay on the computer all the time and try to ignore my problems... and they go away, for a little while...

Trust me, you do NOT want to live here. I would kill for rainy weather every day. Summer is way too hot, and there's NOTHING interesting in Florida. Everyone who vacations here says it's great, but they don't realize that there is nothing interesting beyond the places they go on their vacation. Disney is old, the beaches get boring after awhile, Moroso isn't close to anything, and besides that, there's crap.

Post by: WarxePB on February 06, 2005, 03:43:19 PM

I have a feeling, Moose, that you made this thread partly based on my screen name on MSN... Or, perhaps I'm just being paranoid again.

Anyways, I have no good reason to act depressed. I can try to justify it with saying that my parents are seperated (still going through the divorce thing), but that pales in comparison to the rest of you. I guess I'm a "drama queen", as you guys put it, and I tend to take things past their limits.

Everyone has something or another to be depressed, sad, pissed or angry about. So instead of being like, who's had the worst life so far(Because it's seems to be SO great) I think it's way more important who deals with what they're given the best.

If you piss and moan about life, (No matter how hard it is) it doesn't make it any better? (not saying anyone here is doing that) the way you deal with life's problems is way more important. some are less fortunate than others, but n matter. You can come out on top if you deal with it to the besto your ability.

There's some poetics for you.

Post by: wildguy3922 on February 07, 2005, 05:34:08 AM

I used to be depressed a lot about two years ago, basically because I lived a lot of my life alone, and my parents were always gone and I was new to my school and not too many friends. But, if I get sad over something like my gf breaks up with me, I would come home and just play Halo 2 and I'll forget about it the next day. It's basically my cure.

Depression has once again been mistaken for an emotion.  It's not emotional at all.  It's a chemical imbalance.  It makes people _seem_ emotional and possibly even feel emo, but don't let that fool you.  You can't just _get_ depression, you kind of have to HAVE it.  One of my friends told me she was depressed because her fiance is an ***hole; I nearly slapped her.  Sick of people throwing words around whilly nilly without any true understanding of their meaning.  You can be blue, down, ill-tempered, off-color, raw, emotional, sad, stressed, and even fearful but depression is NOT a godamn emotion.  It's clinical.

Post by: Osmose on February 07, 2005, 10:40:00 AM

Not to be overly harsh, but the only reason your defending depression as a clinical disease, as I can see it, is so you don't have to face the real reasons why you're depressed.

Post by: tyia on February 07, 2005, 11:09:38 AM

My mom have depression,she's often rocks back and forth and walk around nervously.She also get nervous or worry too easliy and eat less than a person suppose to.
I feel sorry for my mom.

Post by: Majin Sam on February 07, 2005, 11:31:42 AM

OK, when my parents split up, I was told the day I had to move out.
Then, I finally catch up with my old friends whilst visiting my Dad, start hanging out with them again, relive the old days, and a complete and utter b--ch splits us all up and ruins that too.
In the place where I do live, I am hated, and the place is incredibly boring too and sucks ***.
My step dad is a phsycoptah, last night smashing up half the house and hitting my mother before heavily verbally abusing me and my little brother as per usual.
Also, are the stresses of GCSEs.
I am clinically depressed and on Prozac, I therefore hate people who say they're depressed for attention.
