this is one topic I have VERY strong and stubborn views on 😖
I have the minimum (or better say zero?) tolerance, sympathy and compassion for the majority of depressed people. I just can't stand it how some can nag and complain about EVERYTHING, all the time, be depressed for every little silly thing. Some even do it cause they think that makes them special, well I say special are the NON depressed ones cause nowadays being sad is a trend and the happy people are becoming extinct rolleyes1
Don't get me wrong, I acknowledge people's problems, but when someone is depressed over trivial stuff, how can others show them the compassion they deserve over a matter that is REALLY important? 😖 I just can't!
So, except for the cases where the people really do have a reason to be depressed, I get irritated by that "trend" ✅ And I admire a lot those who have the power to fight off the sadness even though they'd have a pretty good reason to be sad 🙂
Just its pretty pathetic to see a bunch of reasonably intelligent people sitting at their computers talking shit about a group of people for no real good reason.

no thread on this forum has a really good reason to exist other than exchanging views 😄 you don't REALLY think that any of them are of high importance to anyone else other than the people who post in them, do you?
Well said Evy!
ha. You're funny. (Not sarcasam, I just say that)
One of my best friends is being one of those people and she said she wanted to go on a walk by her pool and "hopefully fall in" so I told her she'd have fun climbing out and she agrees and then I tell her to have a nice walk/death. And she's all dramatic and "goodbye.." (the dots make the scentence) and when she comes back the first thing she says is "Joel [Madden from good charoltte] has a real mohawk! It's HUGE 😄"
...does that not deserve insulting?

Teenagers are always the first to be depress.But for a station like this these girls need to find a better boyfriend who would not throw things at them.
I say think before you date!Is this guy really a good guy?Is he going to use me or respect me?These kind of question should be going around these kid's minds.
Also sometimes if there family life is not so hot they will go looking for love in a boyfriend and get into big trouble.JM
There is real depression out there as Star was talking about and it can be very fatal and some/alot of peeps need medication for it, (Glad you're doing good Star) but when someone is constantly whinning and crying out for attention, thats a whole new catagory, it's not depression. Sounds to me like they are lacking attention somewhere in there life, or they are just selfish and want all the attention directed towards them. You can only cry wolf so many times...til no one comes and it may be the time you actually need the help.

Yeah, when you cut yourself not only does it usually just look like your pet rabbit went psycho path, but it's not like it's going to kill you.. taking pills, jumping off things, attempts at hanging THEN you'll get worried but some little scratches? so what? My friend took a knife and cut open her artery, one cut ALOT of blood. She didn't take a pen lid and make little doodles on her arm.Ugh!

So, what your really trying to say. If your going to do it do it right? I agree. I mean,taking a shotgun barrel filled with nails to the face would be a higly effective way at suicide, and would also catch the shock value self mutilaters try and achieve. Nothing expresses a cry for help more than a closed casket funeral, but where are you gonna get your hands on some nails?

At the moment, a friend of mine is ranting and raving about how her life sucks but I listen to her because I know its just a way of venting frustration. Tomorrow she'll be fine. Others kick doors, punch pillows, thats just a human way of getting rid of stress for some people.
Other people cut themselves, wear gothic makeup, listen to death metal and consider their problems to be huge, when in actual fact they aren't. I think it's pretty stupid to get all worked up about something that in the grand scheme of things, isn't important. Getting worked up isn't that bad if you know when to limit yourself.

Just 'cos someone listens to Black Metal doesn't necessarily mean they are depressed. And having been through anger/frustration - which includes shouting at friends and causing violence to inanimate objects, people are still selfish and at the time feel their problems are the biggest concern in the world, it doesn't matter what type of method you endorse to relieve it.
