Why are you depressed?

[Osmose]

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.

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.

I never get depressed, nothing to get depressed off here, Holland RULEZZZ

[Ace of Spades]

Hehe....I'm not gonna say anything for fear of being flamed by a lot of people here....So this isn't just a spam, lets just say that my life isn't what you'd call shitty...

[Osmose]

No worries, Warxe. If I was going to make this thread based off of your name on MSN, I'dve done it a long time ago

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.

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.

[Drace]

Ah, the old cure of pleasure allmost allways elimanates bad things

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.
