Chris Deezy Speaks: Depression

[Desirous]

 

[Mandarin Duck]

I don't want compassion for my depression. I feel like most people who do just want to have someone to complain to.
On some "woe is me" shyt.
I just do me and work on ways to get out of it.
I am a zombie but I work a hell of alot better that way.

I woulda been outta here last year if I would've gone through with it like I intended

Go fukk yourself it's not easy to get over it. That shyt is like a mental virus eating up your emotions.

your not trying hard enough and he told me some ppl like the attention they receive for being depressed

for some people it's not as easy as "manning up". Some people have a chemical imbalance.

So yes, some people can beat it w/ will power/positive thinking b/c SOMETIMES it's just mental....but not for everybody.

I feel this post so much. Of course, the Coli is a place where I expected the first several replies. I hope there's enough strength to get help, whether you're talking about yourself or a loved one.

It's no joke.

Glad you didn't hope you're better now

a lot of depressed ppl live in silence with it. It's ok to not know abt a subject and be open to learning abt it. show some compassion

I dunno breh. Having been there, I'd assume the people who "like the attention" aren't really depressed.
That shyt is mental hell on a day-to-day basis. The only thing to "like" about it is looking back on it after it's over like .

DEPRESSION,
Depression.
depression.​

It turns intelligent, kind people into zombies who can’t wash a dish or change their socks. It affects the ability to think clearly, to feel anything, to ascribe value to your lifelong passions, your relative good fortune. It scoops out your normal healthy ability to cope with bad days and bad news, and replaces it with an unrecognizable sludge that finds no pleasure, no delight, no point in anything.

You alienate your friends because you can’t comfort yourself socially, you risk your job because you can’t concentrate, you live in moderate squalor because you have no energy to stand up, let alone take out the garbage. You become pathetic and you know it. And you have no capacity to stop the downward plunge. You have no perspective, no emotional reserves, no faith that it will get better. So you feel guilty and ashamed of your inability to deal with life like a regular human, which exacerbates the depression and the isolation.

If you’ve never been depressed, thank your lucky stars and back off the folks who take a pill so they can make eye contact with the grocery store cashier. No one on earth would choose the nightmare of depression over an averagely turbulent normal life. It’s not an incapacity to cope with day to day living in the modern world. It’s an incapacity to function. At all.

No one chooses it. No one deserves it. It runs in families, it ruins families. You cannot imagine what it takes to feign normalcy, to show up to work, to make a doctors appointment, to pay bills, to walk your dog, to return library books on time, to keep enough toilet paper on hand, when you are exerting most of your capacity on trying not to kill yourself.

Depression is real. Compassion is also real. And a depressed person may cling desperately to it until they are out of the woods and they may remember your compassion for the rest of their lives as a force greater than their depression.

Have a heart.

Is it depression or are you realizing that the white mans world is bullshyt.

Probably means its time to take up a more meaningful hobby. Like Brazillian Jiujitsu.

There is no 'manning up.' You are literally nothing more than chemicals in your body. If you do not have the right ones, then your entire world will become a nightmare. Instead of looking down on those that suffer from this, you should just recognize that you don't know what you are talking about and refrain from replying further.

Why do I have it? Because of situations that I thought I would never see myself in.

I think its the survival instinct kicking in and cutting away all the bullshyt in your life. The arrows needs to be pulled back to fly.

Depression is a sign your done "coping" with life and your ready to live it without illusion.

Man I don't know if you're trolling with the Brazilian jiujitsu stuff, but will taking classes get you cut and stronger?
