what i hate is that the people with confidence to cry about their issues (or social skills to just fucking lie) get all the attention, meaning people are conditioned to not think you're depressed or otherwise having difficulties unless you wear a fucking advertising banner saying I AM DEPRESSED. that's how it is on forums, people who say nothing but obviously have issues are ignored while people who're fine but want attention get all the attention they want.

it's one of the reasons i don't use forums with usernames anymore. as well as crippling depression and anxiety, i'm shy as fuck. just participating in conversation doesn't get anyone paying attention to you, but if you post "oh i'm so shy :) hehehe" you'll get tons of attention, well if you're so fucking shy you wouldn't overtly be stating it you fucking bastard fuck you and fuck your social skills.

>but you're stating these things here, anon
i'm an anon, i could be any anon. with a name, they are one specific user, one specific person.

i'm going to die alone, depressed and hopefully drunk off my ass. fuck it, fuck it all. i'll never be 14 again, i'll never have friends again, i can never unlearn how terrible people are. tuck me in, let me die.

A minority of people are actually depressed where their condition can be detected and diagnosed on some physical basis.

Everything else is attention whoring, glorifying depression, both in media and irl so that normies can be a part of the le cool depression.

I think I understand the phenomenon behind wanting to ascribe mental illnesses to yourself.

I don't approve, but I get it.

Attention whoring definitely a part of it, but I think the most appealing part is summing up your defects into something quantifiable, identifiable, and ultimately defeatable.
No one wants to believe that their problems are their fault. Even worse, that their problems, their unhappiness, and their shortcomings are all so scattered and nebulous that you can never solve all of them.
But a mental illness?
Once you have a mental illness, all of your problems have a logical origin, and a target for blame. I definitely fucking get why this is so comforting. Now, in addition to the satisfaction of being in the "atypical club", your guilt about your current situation is absolved, and now you have a more tangible problem to solve.

"I'm battling depression" sounds a lot better than "I'm trying to stop being such a sad cunt all the time" for a number of reasons.

I can't say how valid mental illness is, how much of it is predisposition and how much is just self-actualization, but I understand the perks of defining yourself by it.

People think "mental illness" means "psychologically complex". Hence they claim illnesses with no negative connotations and high sympathy such as depression, insomnia, ADD.

>>24878857

people who claim to have ADD are the fucking worst. they always act like their life is so much harder and they need drugs to function like other people, as if having trouble concentrating on shit you don't care about isn't something literally everybody experiences.

I don't reckon that people clamouring for the attention that "confirmation" of mental illness DO want something defeatable; they want something undefeatable. I see plenty of males and females both claim depression or other myriad anxiety disorders, and they put it in a narrative of "oh I just have to live with it, sometimes i cant control my actions".

Several years ago I was a bit similar. Now I'm loathe to even give any mental aberration I possess a NAME like depression, much less actually discuss it with anyone that isn't perfectly like-minded.

But I'm worried that it might be worsening any underlying conditions.

You don't realize how serious a chemical imbalance is. It doesn't come from nowhere and having a healthy social life is not going to put you at risk.
You know what happens when social affluent people become depressed? They get all the emotional comfort and support they need and then the depression goes away. Every single time.

One thing is normies flaunting their depression. But being rich and/famous is bound to have you suffer on some degree.
I believe when famous people say they are depressed over the average normie.
>>
>>24883977
except not every single time. take a look at all the celebrities who have offed themselves.

it's a chemical imbalance and yes it can be a serious one and yes it can be INFLUENCED by our environment. that doesn't mean it's directly tied to it or that a change of environment or what kind of support you get from people around you. it helps but since it's a FUCKUP IN YOUR HEAD AND A DISEASE it can't always be fixed by that shit.

If you're not the person I responded to then don't respond. They brought up chemical imbalances not me. And I'm just discussing the logistic of claiming that.

>>24884015
Celebrities have garbage social lives. There's nothing healthy about what celebrities do. At a certain point they become living breathing commodities not people. And they realize this.
You're foolish if you think someone with greater social responsibility is all of a sudden able to relate and be humanely cares about by regular people.
>>
>>24884065
anyone can have a garbage social life. you're foolish if you think that a chemical imbalance can be fixed just by someone listening to your problems, or by money, or by having a kickass life.

the point i'm trying to get at is anyone can suffer from this, regardless of their circumstances. just like anyone can suffer from cancer. maybe the rich and those with a great social group can get better treatment and heal, but that doesn't mean they didn't have the disease in the first place.

You're wrong. The way you live greatly effects your body physically and mentally. It can't just happen to anybody an that's why it is serious.
Thing is you normies say it can happen to everyone when that is simply not true. Many people aren't at risk at all.

People don't take depression seriously anymore because it gets spit out like sunflower seeds.

That's like saying someone who lives in Antartica is going to experience a scalding summer.
>>
>>24877962
That's true. It almost makes me want to start branding myself as someone fighting depression rather than having my weird anxious behavior go unaddressed. But even if it helps me unload the responsibility, I doubt anyone else would perceive me differently

While we're on the topic of anxiety/depression, has anyone's anxiety ever caused them to have visual hallucinations before? Is this a common thing? Because I hallucinated an incarnation of my own fear while I was unmedicated.

>tfw OCD, gad and slightly aspie
Fucking OCD is the biggest normalfag meme. Everyone just claims they have it "Oh I'm so OCD about this."
Nobody recognises the true symptoms and often gets OCD confused with OCPD which really pisses me off.
If I were to tell someone I had OCD they would probably brush it off as "Oh but everyone does".
It's like they ignore the D which stands for disorder.
>>
>>24883737
I hear voices too and also never thought much of it because they weren't too disruptive, but I read that that is actually part of schizophrenia: the positive (presence of) symptoms are less impactful on quality of life, it's the negative (absence of) symptoms that truly destroy you. I don't hear them all the time and when I do hear them, the best way that I can describe it is to say that I am in a mild state of reduced or altered lucidity which only seems noticeable after the fact.

Another reason why I never thought much of the voices I heard was because they sounded distinctly inside my head. In other words, it didn't sound like they were echoing around the room and traveling through air. Just foreign words I am not the originator of being injected directly into my head. But that's apparently common in schizophrenics, too.

Anyway, mine aren't comforting. They're like an inner monologue I have no control over. It's like there are words being spoken in my head that I'm not writing even in the slightest imaginable sense. I can respond to them and they respond back with unanticipated answers. Most of the time it's not coherent, it's just like random words that make no sense are being shouted into my ear by someone else. There are at least 3 different voices, two of which are male and one is female. They sometimes converse with each other and I can sit back and listen as a passive observer. Sometimes they interrupt my thoughts and I have to pause my thought and listen to them.

>>24882083
Usually it's because women choose to try and OD on pills or slit their wrists so that their body will look pretty in a casket instead of horribly mangled. Of course, a method as slow to kill as those means there's plenty of time for someone to find out and stop them.

Men usually choose shit like shooting themselves, which of course is almost instantly effective and leaves no possibility for someone else to stop them.
>>
>>24877962
Yeah wish all the dumbass normies weren't like this.
If I could be rid of my depression I would in a heartbeat. I mean shit one semester of college my depression was as severe as back in HS when I was constantly bullied harassed abused and hated. Couldn't do back shit. But would I blame depression on any future performance? Nah.
Normies? "UGH I WAS SOOO DEPRESSSED"

I'm taking the first step this spring however by taking time off college to save money, see a psychiatrist to straighten up or find a tolerance point and will try to figure out what to do with my life.
Do I think my depression will be cured? No. But at least I can get my life together even if I'm beyond the social acceptance borderline.

Normies though. They never NOT have depression..

i like how the excuse people use to pretend female 'suicides' aren't just for attention is to say 'no, women are just incredibly vain'

If they were for attention then why would they try and kill themselves instead of just saying "hey, I'm suicidal"?

That's unfortunate, I'm sorry.
Whatever's going on with me, I have a single female voice offering me guidance and social/emotional advice. She scolds me when I do something that ends up affecting me negatively or when I mention her to other people IRL.

I don't think he ever gave me a diagnosis or anything but my psychiatrist did prescribe me SNRIs and I've been on them for three years now.

Also, this whole trendy mental health thing isn't new. You should all watch the documentary series "The Trap" by Adam Curtis. It talks about the rise of psychiatry in episode one and two.

>>24883867
Not that guy but I can see where he's coming from. If you are rich you are set for life. You don't have to worry about starving or having nowhere to live. You have time to focus and reflect on other things now that your basic needs are met. When an average person is depressed, they might not even be able to get out of bed in the morning to go to work. They might lose their job or fail out of school. Now on top of that depression they have their future to worry about.

I'm not saying money is everything but it definitely helps.

My mum works at a mental health place and most of the time its people admitting themselves, which is almost always bullshit like some dude whos just come from down from a high or another dude whos not mentally ill, hes just a prick.
People with actual mental illnesses either dont want to acknowledge it or dont know that anythings wrong.
