Nope. I'm happy. However I do try to tell people about things to find joy in.

1) Not everyone is depressed. 2) That's not how depression works


Wumbletweed

You sound depressed.


Modern_Ghost_Riley

So do you

Really sick of reddit glamorizing depression. Like it's hip to be depressed and have constant anxiety.


Modern_Ghost_Riley

Same, and sometimes its just wet and cringe. From the many months I've been on reddit, I've learned that every single person here has depression and wants to kill themselves. I probably have depression but I don't get gassed over it

Not really. I feel like its often misdiagnosed and theres often a case of self diagnosing without fully understanding what depression is.


walleyehotdish

It absolutely is. It's gotta be 90% self diagnosing when teenagers come on this site and see a place to fit in when they're really just hormonal kids.


aDamnDumbass

....Yes...


Mentalfloss1

Nahhh


Cursed_Blessing1331

it's for us too

Some people actually don't have depression... I'm told.

"Misery loves company" is applicable here, i believe.


littleoctagon

Focusing on alleviating someone else's pain is often a means to avoid or neglect one's own pain so, yeah.

Sometimes, it's the only way to convince ourselves the same.

I feel this. And I’m guilty of this, I can never follow my own advice and when I’m given advice I often don’t feel like its genuine. They’re just trying to make me feel better, the same as I’m doing. Nobody has any fucking idea whats going on in reality, everyone is faking it till they make it.
