    It's about choice. You can choose to see how fucked up the world really is and sit around and cry about it, or you can take that knowledge and use it to run massive burns on anyone and everything.

    Yeah, depression is just about as much a choice as being gay (neither is a choice, why would anyone choose to be an outcast anyway?) I used to believe in all this positive thinking crap, till I got tired of being taken advantage of by all these oh-so-nice people. Remember, the nicer they sound, the more they're trying to seduce you into whatever head trip they're trying to lay on you. (Yeah, I know how to do that too, but I really don't like spewing that kind of crap at all -- it gives me psychological constipation!)

    Having said that, there are some really cool things out there in nature (what hasn't been fucked up by people anyway), and people can also be real cool when they're not trying to foist an attitude, even a positive one, off on anybody. But forget the positive thinking bullshit, it's just denial of the fact that things aren't always so great (to put it mildly), and the positive thinking types are among the worst at screwing everybody else! Instead, try actually giving a damn about other people for where they really are without trying to lay an attitude on them. Of course, that takes a bit of effort... [​IMG]

    i dont believe this to be correct, i am sure depressed people see all the negativity that others would choose to ignore but they have a hard time seeing the good which is also there...

    There is a devil and a saviour... they cancel eachother out... the world is grey

    That quote was a bunch of bullshit. Depression is a fuckin illness and requires taking prescription drugs. There's a difference between sad and depressed.

    well, i'm about to get off cause i'm gonna crash. the last thing i'll add that is if people say i was depressed and snapped out of it then they were never really truly depressed. i feel depressed i'd say atleast a few hours a day. i go from manic to depressed.

    I was depressed because of how I viewed things and they fucking put me on drugs. Fuck that, what I need is to get the hell out of this crazy schizophrenic society and not be forced to play this poorly designed shittyass game.

    Everyone's brain chemistry is different
    , sometimes it's way different. One system of living isn't going to work for everyone but that's what we have set up here and if you don't fit into it, they say that you have a disorder. I know that some people do totally need medication to live (within structures and systems) but I also wonder if things were set up differently, would there really be such an epidemic? Civilization is getting faster and more systematic every year and standards are always being raised.

    "Mental disorders" are just way too over diagnosed and no one seems to want to admit that, in a way, we're doing it to ourselves.

    i.m.o.
