Depression

There are different forms of depression. Every single person on the planet gets depressed at some point. The thing is, people always associate depression with not wanting to get out of bed, etc. That is the more serious kind. The kind that really needs medication to get out of. The kind of depression most people feel is not serious enough for medication, they just feel sad/down/hurt for a bit and then get over it.

My friend was heavily depressed at one point. She never wanted to get out of bed and would just lay there all day. She didn't want to see people, she lost all interest in things she loved to do.....she is okay now but once in a while slips back in to it. I think her initial bout lasted for months. When she gets the feeling again, it's a few days.
 
You don't know every couple's troubles so don't act like you do.
Some shit hits you really hard, and when your dreams come crashing down on top of your expectations, depressed is a fitting word.

of course I don't, what I do know is that the majority of cases don't have any super-background behind them. boy or girl being a jerk or a bitch respectively, boy or girl cheating on the other one, boy or girl finding someone else that's better for them. then there are other cases like one has to go away for a job or something. in the case of someone getting dumped because of his/her own actions, it was their fault, their bad handling, not really have a right to bitch about it. in the case of cheating, you didn't find your partner worthy so you cheated, so why be sad on top of it? you have no right to be sad. and if they cheated on you, why be sad? they didn't respect you or truly love you, you're worthy of a better fate, of someone who will appreciate what you give them. your partner finding someone else is kinda the same with cheating, except they had the decency to dump you before they cheat. and in the case of someone leaving for example for a job, you could try and make things work with distance, not anyone else's fault that didn't work out again, bad handling, maybe you grew apart etc. seriously dude, most cases are quite standard.

I've always hated that argument. Its like I can't say anything negative because someone else has it worse.
There is always someone who has it worse than the next guy, doesn't mean complaining will ever stop.

sure you can. but others have it SO worse that it really looks more like first world problems vs third world problems. also, no one's life is perfect. be grateful for what you do have that others crave for.

Has no right to call himself depressed after losing the love of his life?
Who the hell made you the judge of that?
He probably will find one that is better, but until he does the thought of him losing the best one yet still looms in his mind.
Its human nature to see the negative more than the positive.

like I said, love life of teenage with hints of drama in there doesn't make it worthy of calling yourself depressed. seriously? there are people who never mature, others take too long to, if anything's certain is that people of teenage know nothing about real love and real sacrifices and actually say love and mean love, not like or have a fling for. love is literally to do anything for someone whether it's a family member, friend, partner in your love life. when teens nowadays call bieber an artist, I'm quite sure that means their minds are not mature enough to know what love is. not to mention how many people globally just throw 'I love you' in the face of their partner JUST to say it. TONS don't know this meaning, that's the sad truth. also, it's not good to see more negative than positive. the other way around makes life much MUCH better. of course, having in mind that you should have optimism in your head but not escaping reality.

But I really do think you need the info on polysemes though :laugh:
How does it not make sense for teenage issues?
Are teenagers not permitted to be sad?
Is that a right that comes packed in with the ability to buy cigarettes?

sure they can be sad. I just find it irritating to see modern, educated youth adding so much drama and not try using their brains and get a different approach on some issues. if you want to be happy, you can make it happen. it all depends on us, our own abilities. if you choose to be stunned and frozen each time something bad happens to you, then you will go insane if REALLY nasty stuff cripple your future. people with mental strength can separate heavy problems from light problems that are only temporary and trivial.
 
Because that is someone you loved and trusted and they took that and shit all over it.

true.. then again, I would never do someone the favor to be sad about because they showed lack of respect for me and ingratitude about what I had given. maybe I'm using logic too much, I don't know, but I really don't believe an unworthy person should ever make us feel sad and remain sad on top of doing things to us that were nasty.
 
I don't think it's illogical to feel sad when someone you love treats you like garbage and doesn't really care about your feelings. Humans have emotions, it's more logical to feel hurt and sad when someone doesn't care about your feelings or your relationship.

It's easy for other people to say 'don't bother with it, just move on', but it isn't easy for the person who was in love with someone, gave them their all, only to have it mean nothing to the other person.
 
I've always hated that argument. Its like I can't say anything negative because someone else has it worse. There is always someone who has it worse than the next guy, doesn't mean complaining will ever stop.

Thank you. Thank you so damn much for hating that argument like I do.
 
Yes saying "Someone has it worse" and allowing that as a mental hand to keep you up can also stagnate your growth.

If I lose in a competitive game and I think "Oh Well it's ok someone in this tournament is worse than me" Then you've accepted your position.


If I'm so poor I can't even hardly ever get to eat meat, But I think oh well someone in africa is starving to death right now... so I should be grateful for what I got. I know it doesn't tribute to downfall.

But this mentality sure doesn't help problems.

Thinking this way tends to let you think your problems are ok. And you'll subconciously stagnate.

You should always complain or atleast let your feelings be known of dissapproval of your or someone else's current standings. Otherwise problems won't get fixed.


But thinking this way "can" make you feel better. Because you're comparing your success vs less fortunate, and it makes you feel "well off" and might make you feel better.

But it still contributes to the stagnation of growth.
