depression is a mental disorder that can effect anyone no matter the
gender, race, social status or age. depression is the opposite of being afraid of dying. most depression victims don't want to live, not to be
cool(which is really f cking stupid
bc if you had depression you wouldn't want people acting like they have something extremely serious), but bc depression is such a severe disorder that it makes you feel like you're worthless, or should not have been put on this
earth. it includes getting sad after laughing or being happy, can lead to self harm such as
cutting, and can sometimes lead to insomnia. depression is NOTHING to
joke about. imagine waking up every
day and telling yourself you're not worth anything and awaiting the
day you finally get taken from this life. if you know someone with depression, try to help them out as much as you can, but also give them some space bc if you had a mental illness, you wouldn't want ten thousand questions. but also don't be an a hole about it either.
a hole 1:
hey I have an idea, why don't you just
stop having depression?
a hole 2: yeah like just
stop being sad
person with depression: it's a f cking illness I CANT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT
