| Ya just do hobby ya love to do.
E A S Y
| Be optimistic
Try to stay positive, even if shit happens
That's at least how I do it
| Drive other people into deeper depression so y'all get less depress in comparison
| Yea me
| i think it's good to be depressed because it shows that you are a sensible person, and not some fucking robot. depression is probably one of the human's most advanced elaborate non-conformist emotional state.
somehow, it builds character (unless severe). i think that people with depression are more mystical and attractive.
| >>425087 basically people who argue on the internet if you you replace depression with being annoyed
| The only way to not be depressed is going to the psychiatrist, really
| I had a depressive episode that lasted about three days. other than that, I'm enjoying life.
>>425136 I think it's bad to romanticize depression, and that doing so is one of the main factors in why there are so many depressed teenagers now. It isn't good to be depressed, that's why it's called depression.
| Pretty sure some sociologists or whatever did a study last year and came out saying 2017 was the loweat point so far in society's collective mood and shit with depreasion and other mental illness on the rise

| People aren't depressed, they believe they are.
The simple fact that they say they are, proves that they aren't. Depression is a slow descent in a self-hatred hell, and self-hatred makes people refrain from complaining about their situation.
That's why depression is dangerous, because it's hard to detect.
But now it's a trend, and people say they are depressive when they feel a bit low for a few hours. That's not depression, but attention seeking.

| >>425242 while thats mostly true, please dont say that truly depressed people dont also complain about their situation. No-one wants to commit die in the end, and thats why atleast at SOME point they cant contain the depression and need support.
Ive been depressed and suicidal for about a year, but have been just recently opening up about it.
Besides, why does everyone always say depression is about self-hate? For me, and i think for many others, its just the dullness of life.
| >>425242 for depressed people its either suicide or help from others. Both people close to us (if you have any) and our natural fear of death should make us take the second choice.

Depression (either major depressive phase or dysthymia) are both characterised by a low self-esteem. Low self-esteem means that people will believe they aren't worth the effort so they won't ask for help, and they won't talk about it because they don't "deserve" to be depressed ("depressed people have a REAL problem, while I'm just complaining for no reason. They are sick, I'm just stupid").
Of course they *might* talk about it, but it's not that common.

This leads to suicide by the same way of thought: "I'm just a burden for my loved ones. They would tell me to survive because they want to be nice, but they'd be better off without me". These thoughts make it difficult to ask for help.
"If I say I want to die, I'll weight even more on their shoulders, so I should hide it"
I recommend the depressionquest serious game to see how it can be: http://www.depressionquest.com/
| The feeling not worth asking for help shit is why I spent 3 of my ongoing years as a shut-in just bottling it all instead of begging to be set up with a shrink...
| im not depressed or suicidal this week somehow but im not happy and dont enjoy living very much at all thanks.
