The Glorification of Depression and Its Disastrous Consequences
15 Habits of People With Concealed Depression Bullhickey! WARNING: What you're about to read may SEEM heartless. If this article above is the case then everyone's depressed. I personally find this to be yet another pandering article written for people to out-depress each other and pick up more quirky annoying little habits they THINK they're being mysterious about because it's the only attention they like to get instead of getting off their behinds, going outside and getting some form of exercise. Feelings of sadness and nonacceptance are natural feelings EVERYONE goes through at times. To actually SUFFER from DEPRESSION is REAL for many people. Unfortunately, like with gluten, tons of people feeling out of the trendy loop jumped onto the latest illness craze making a mockery of those who actually feel they're expelling half of their intestines out after eating a slice of bread. Most people claiming to be "depressed" these media fueled days are in all actuality just sad. I'm not a doctor. My opinion is only based on observation from people I see, know and read throughout social media. Sad is okay. Sad is GOOD. It helps you appreciate happiness much more when you find yourself in the midst of it. You do not need dangerous drugs for sad nor do you don't need 200 likes on your sad selfie in order to get help. No one cares that you lay around in your jammies all day while everyone else goes to work (some of whom are actually suffering from depression and don't even know it as many REAL sufferers don't). You CANNOT always see depression. At least not if you go by the type articles above. But you can express love to those around you in hopes that at least one kind gesture or whatever clustering of words you manage to spit out of your simple little mouth can actually lift them up for another day, week or year. In other words, UNIVERSAL KINDNESS may not be a cure but it can go a long way.

Mackenzie LuPublished 7 years ago in PsycheMy Battle With Depression
My battle with depression began as a teenager when I lost a person who was almost like a second dad to me. I couldn't eat or sleep. My parents knew there was something wrong and tried to help me but never put me in therapy. After I met my first boyfriend and was socializing more, I felt much more like myself.
