>he still believes depression is actually real
How weak can you possibly be to believe this made up Tumblr disease?
If illnesses of the body are real why not illnesses of the mind?
>>29262092
Because being sad isn't an illness
>not knowing that depression is an actual physical thing and not just being sad

Though i agree with the fact that most people who claim to be depressed on the Internet are actually just sad for a short moment and want attention.
>>29262125
No but being sad all the goddamn time might be.
>>29262134
Being lethargic and empty from being sad is normal and sure it's hard to push through it sometimes but going "muh depresshun" instead of just manning up and dealing with your problems is pussy shit
Stop hiding behind a label
>>29262163
No being sad all the time is being too defeatist to fix your problems and pull yourself up by the bootstraps
>>29262171
It's like we've been transported back to the 1800s
>>29262189
>pull yourself up by the bootstraps
If you're not memeing, this term was invented to describe something hilariously impossible to do.

Depression with a chemical imbalance in the brain is most certainly real.
That said, 20 bucks says all the "depressed" whales on Tumblr have normal chemical levels and are just mistaking normal sadness for depression
>>29262078
Think of the one activity you unequivocally enjoy.
Imagine doing that and feeling absolutely no enjoyment. Nothing. Fucking jack shit. Imagine every goddamn step being overshadowed by a general feeling of inadequacy and anxiety.
You've never been depressed. Any "abloobloo muh oneitis" bullshit you've delt with in your life can compare to actual clinical depression.
Fuck you. I know this is bait, but goddamn if it doesnt piss me off when people tell me to "jus get over it broh :^)" when need medication just to feel like a goddamn human
>>29262323
*Can't compare, fuck I'm pissed
SpoilerNo one is actually retarded enough to seriously think depression isn't real, please move along
>>29262323
If you don't feel any joy from your video games or whatever maybe you've just outgrown them and need to find a new hobby
>>29262293
>a saying isn't realistic
Wow who would've thought
>>29262249
Nice argument
>>29262125
>being sad
Confirmed thumbsucking retard.
/r9k/ doesn't know a bait thread when they see it, huh?
>>29262386
>Wow who would've thought
It's using one impossible situation to describe a litany of actually impossible situations one might encounter through life, like all metaphors you dense fuck.
how do you imprison a god? make it believe it is.
>>29262386
>assuming i play video games
>just get a new hobby
I actually hope you fucking crack your skull on a rock, become depressed as a direct result of TBI, and end up taking as many SSRIs as I am.

Robots have underdeveloped discernment skills from their lack of life experience
>>29262526
grow up kid my god
my favorite is the whole "muh chemical imbalance proves its real"
your poor mentality has the ability to influence your body chemistry. thats why placebos are effective.
take responsibility for your mental state, it's literally the one thing in life you have complete control over.

>Depression with a chemical imbalance in the brain is most certainly real.
Find me one shred of scientific evidence muh chemical imbalance is real
Protip: You can't, because it's not.
>>29262526
>o-oh God he isn't giving me a pitty party over muh deprushun
>i should tell him to kill himself
Really?

>>29262526
>im so lazy so i take drugs and lay in bed for hours on head
who will play him in his biopic
Serotonin imbalance is measurable.

Depression is inactivity in your brain. If desensitation of neurotransmitters is real, depression is. You fucking cunt.

Oh my god! Delete this ignorant thread!
I may be a university student, have a job, have a boyfriend and have tons of friends, but I'm still just as deserving of sympathy as any of you friendless robots because of my abstract chemical imbalance that no scientist can measure.
I try to get at least 4 hours of sleep a night, eat a vegetable once every few days, and have cut down my energy drink consumption to only two a night, and yet for some reason, my head is all fucked up. It must be because of my chemical imbalance that I was born with.
So you arrogant robots need to accept that even though your lives are falling apart, even people who have perfect lives have it just as bad as you because muh depression
