Is Anyone Here *NOT* Depressed?

[Gwoppo]

Few years ago I was down bad...found out the lil one wasn’t mines, missed my grandma and dads funeral while locked up, lost my job, car, apt. all at the same time. shyt was rough. I’m going through some shyt now, but it’s not as bad as it was, or could be. I know there’s a light at the end of this tunnel. I just can’t see it yet. I never talk to anybody about my problems tho. I just ball it up and push it to the back of my head.

I’m good tho

I haven't felt legit depression since I was a kid
Everything now is just temporary problems , but I never get depressed or feel sad

 

[TransJenner]

People get sadness and depression mixed up. We all get sad ... depression is like a deep unending sadness. We crack too many jokes for me to say that most people in here are truly depressed.

I feel like most people aren't really "depressed" and are just feeling sorry for themselves


That's why I don't feel bad for people who claim to be depressed, you live in America and have been blessed with more opportunities than most of the world why be sad

I hate it when people try to decide who's depressed and who's not. Unless you're in that person shoes you don't know if they're depressed or not fam

Just because they're not homeless or barely surviving doesn't mean that they can't claim to be depressed. What's good enough for one person may not be good enough for the next. I'm neutral about life most of the time but I never try to tell someone that they can't be depressed because they're able to eat or have a place to live.

if you're more intelligent than most then depression is inevitable

i see what everything could be and know i was born a few centuries too early... that's depressing as fukk

the key is learning how to cope with depression as a realist with a tinge of optimism

and depression should never stem from your own shortcomings

 

[BaldingSoHard]

Nope .

Got a fridge full of food.
Good health.
Good job.
Family and friends are happy and safe.

Life is grand as fukk.

It's funny how depression is seen as weak or whatever. It's almost the opposite of my experience

Takes a certain perseverance to dig yourself out of the hole that is depression over and over again.

seems like everyone's "depressed" or got some mental illness these days...

this world fukkin sucks

Wow... crazy... i just pondered this last week sometime.
I dnt understand this generation. I asked a young girl about this mental state of her generation... and why it feels like every muthafuka got some depression issues or something..
She said, they think its cool to be depressed. it doesnt make since but thats what it it.
They think its cool to be sympathized and cared about for being depressed. Makes u seem deep, or dark...
My face during the whole convo

 

[MeachTheMonster]

I'm happy as fukk

 

[DrexlersFade]

No not at all

 

[Figaro]

I always thought depression was due to people over thinking shyt, keep active & you straight brehs

Keep the mind healthy & it loves you back

A lot of posters here and people in general confuse sadness with depression.

sadness is a temporary change in your mental state. It's what you experience when you are having a rough day, breakups, job loss etc and the individual usually recovers unless they pick up a dangerous addiction to cope with the temporary sadness ofcourse.

depression on the otherhand is a permanent inbalance of serotonin and lower than normal level of dopamine (the hormone that makes us feel good) in the brain. unlike sadness, clinical depression is beyond the control of the individual suffering from it. It's not something you can just snap out of. It requires medication and theraphy to cope and it's something that one typically never overcome so I pray no one here actually suffer from clinical depression. it's not a joke
