I hated it as well, because I felt that people wouldn't be taking my problems or the hurt I live with seriously.īut if that's just their way of expressing their hurt then I can understand. And now I finally understand that maybe that's this younger generation's way of acceptably coping with it.īut I will say that for me, when I would see it all over, this same thing used to bother me too. I think it sounds like what I see all over the forums for games I play. I looked through the comments and I didn't know that you could manifest your depression or hurt in this cutesy outside way. im not agreeing or diagreeing with you but just sharing my personal experience.
because it makes it that when i do say "i feel depressed" people think i just feel down even though i mean like serious feelings of. They use it as a substitute to feeling "down" or "in a bad mood" and sometimes i do feel like it bothers me. OP, I kinda agree with you that sometimes people overuse the word depressed. and her, not have experienced mental illness but is still compassionate, was very very disturbed by my joke. like once me and my friend were cooking and she was preparing chicken to bake making a few slices on it so it cooks evenly. currently antidepressants are a great help for me) sometimes i just feel so numb to the problem that those experiences and self harm have just become numb to me. I guess in my experience, of social anxiety, self harm and depression (yes. People nowadays are just lonely and they want to belong somewhere, don’t shame them for it please. Let them be or if you are in a place to help you can try to do so. My point is, they are trying to deal with their stuff and this is just their expression. Lack of cohesiveness can be defined by a society, in general, feeling alone, without strong ties to a group, usually religious, Lack of social cohesiveness is commonly referred to as the main cause of increased suicide rates in first world countries. The reason I think this group is so important is because it brings social cohesiveness to a society that really encourages people to be all about themselves and no one else. I know this for a fact because I wore all black and blasted my chemical romance all throughout high school and most of college. I think social media and memes generalize it a lot and when people say things that seem like “oh look at me I’m so sad” could literally mean that they are trying to express their depression, and it’s uncalled for to shame them as such. It hurts you, it tears you limb from limb on the inside, and thanks to people that treat it like a cutesy instagram aesthetic, very few take it seriously. Being depressed doesn't make you cute or quirky or unique. Mental illness isn't an aesthetic choice. I would love to not be a downer, I would love not to drag the people I know down with me when I'm not doing well, I would love to have a reason to live that isn't "live long enough to see this band come to town in 5 months". These people probably have no clue what it feels like to fight the urge to cut your arms and legs clean open, how it feels to have to smile at people and play the happy person when you're in constant agony, because you can't tell them how you really feel without being a "downer" or being told to "chill out". Going "uwu I'm so sad all the time look at me I'm a sad boy aren't I dreamy and mysterious" takes all of the gravity out of how it feels to be depressed.
I'm sick and tired of seeing people treat depression and mental illness like it's some cutesy fashion accessory.
