Because I've learned the only way to overcome extreme sadness and pain is to GET UP OFF MY ASS AND GO LIVE MY LIFE. I had a choice, focus on the pain and sorrow and feel sorry for myself, or accept what happened, and keep moving forward with my life. Does it make me sad when I think about it? Of course.
The point is bad things happen to everyone. To think your bad situation is unique, you're a fool. People out there have faced far worse and come out on the other side. How things affect in the long term is largely up to you. How you handle those problems is 100% up to you. Focus on what you can control.

And while that does work for most problems, you [b][i][u]CAN NOT[/u][/i][/b] simply get over a frelling mental disorder that way. It is a chemical imbalance in the brain, let's see how happy you are when your body refuses to produce endorphins and other chemicals.

Have you ever thought about self treating your chemical imbalance by doing activities that produce the proper chemicals?

I have been to therapy, tried the meds(I would rather fell sad than be a zombie), I've tried activities that are supposed to produce those chemicals in your brain. Depression is a real problem, so please stop treating it like its not.

I still say the large majority of people with depression are just being self absorbed with their own problems.

Edited by Thudd224: 3/28/2015 4:52:34 PMThat I agree with, most people that claim to be depressed are just unhappy with their lives, bored, and lonely. However, there are a lot of people who do need help, however they can get it. And that's what the op, and a few fellow bah posters are doing here, trying to help. Why? Because we have been there, and somehow survived it. Life is beautiful, tis sad that for so many people it is nothing but a dark pit of despair and failure.
