  1. first off depression ISN'T a "mental illness." its a mental condition. its more like a broken leg than cancer. (but, because of its extreme fuctuations, "manic-depression" is an illness and not related to depression at all.) it aggravates me when people tell me "i'm not alone" or to "seek help.' i AM alone. i'm all on my own, shuddered in my apt with no support system whatsoever. no family, no friends, no neighbors, no govt bureaucrats and no medical proffessionals who give a damn. its also aggravating when morons tell me to not be afraid to seek help. I'M NOT AFRAID to ask for help for any problem i have. but being DENIED HELP whenever i ask for it is a HUGE aggravation! our entire social system, medical, economic, financial, legal and governmental, is run by profiteers, extortionists and gangsters who put profit over EVERYTHING! in the u. s. we're ALL truly on our own unless your rich. isn't capitalism great? I SCREAM ABOUT THESE FLAWS EVERYDAY on youtube and elsewhere and everyday i'm comnpletely ignored. democrat, republican, liberal, conservative, gay, straight, man, women, young or old, it doesn't matter. NO ONE WANTS TO HEAR THE TRUTH! GIVE ME A VOICE DAMN IT!

  2. i've been a suicidal depressive for 30 years. i'm on disability for it. after 3 suicide attempts (and one fake one) i think i have a lot to offer in terms of the lessons i've learned from my own experiences. i'm not only NOT ashamed of my depression - i've been screaming my head off about it for 30 years. and i've been, mainly, ignored and even ridiculed for it. i've written exposés about the abuses, failings and shortcomings of the psychological industry. i've written MANY articles and books about these subjects. guess what? i'm not allowed to be published! i'm not allowed to share my experiences and observations. they only wanna hear from rich, famous people who claim to suffer from depression. as of right now, i have no family or friends. if i died at home tomorrow, by any means, i wouldn't be discovered for weeks or months. if i didn't have to pay rent i wouldn't be discovered for YEARS! we must face REALITY! no one cares! everyone has their own problems. they're too busy to care about the problems of others. THIS IS INTENTIONAL! this is how the elite have molded society. they want us ALL so distracted and overcome by our own daily problems and emergencies we're INCAPABLE of concern for the problems of others. they don't want us helping each other. they want us divided and in perpetual conflict so they, the elite, maintain their power, wealth and privilege. once we realize this fact, we can battle our own depression by helping ONE ANOTHER! stop playing this game that's rigged against you. UNITE and fight the injustices and INSANITY of the world. when you dedicate your lives to such endeavors you'll be surprised at just how quickly your depression subsides or dissipates all together.

  3. for god's sake! avoid meds at ALL costs! meds are a scam. if you're already on them DON'T just stop taking them. these drugs are dangerous as hell and you MUST ween yourself off them, slowly. 50% of ALL americans, including children, are on some form of psychotropic drug. and, for the most part, THE TAXPAYER is paying the bill. ITS A SCAM PEOPLE. these drugs lead to a LIFELONG DEPENDENCE! they alter your mind not your situation. their designed to numb us and make us HAPPILY compliant to our corporate masters. anyone ever notice how the use of all these corporate drugs exploded over the last 40 years? depression, anxiety and stress has EXPLODED over the last 40 years. you ever stop and ask why? I HAVE! WE AREN'T SUPPOSED TO BE LIVING THIS WAY! we're living in opposition to our natural instincts and the natural world. this is THE cause of humanity's deteriorating mental state.

  4. there's a flaw here in this video and these so-called "studies." first, its stated that intelligence isn't exclusively reflected in i. q. levels or academic performance. good, i think we can all agree on that. but then they go on and say "intelligent" people have these other traits. how do they know these traits are possessed by intelligent people if these people have no signs of intelligence other than these traits? on what are these claims based? if they don't look at their i. q.'s what makes these an indication of intelligence? here's the deal. this is how it works. their are no intrinsic or identifiable traits that all smart people, or not so smart people, possess. EVERYONE is different. we're all individuals with individual traits. we MUST stop trying to group everyone into separate cliques and clans. claiming that everyone within a clique all have the same traits. this is called scapegoating and stereotyping. THIS IS A MAJOR FASCIST FLAW IN PSYCHOLOGY! like religion and politics, they're always trying to divide us. make some of us feel superior to others. its called manipulation. and psychology has turned manipulation into a pseudo-science exploited by the elite in both govt and business. don't fall for it.

  5. you ever read Freud's " interpretation of dreams"? there's an interesting section in there about how our dreams can sometimes warn us about undetected physical problems or diseases. i'm not saying this is your case, but who knows?

  6. to hell with rejection. i ain't playing that game anymore. any lady who's interested in me can approach me. let them worry about rejection for once. otherwise, i'm doing just fine on my own. who needs the stress, anxiety and aggravation? not me. i have way too much of all that in my life already.

  7.  @08SB80  ... actually, as humans, praise, acceptance, recognition and appreciation are things we ALL seek. one reason it may seem less "extraordinary" people may seek these more diligently than those deemed superior to us is because they receive so little PRAISE, ACCEPTANCE, RECOGNITION and APPRECIATION for their contributions to society. our society commonly praises and showers appreciation and rewards onto the wrong people. the rich, powerful and unethical aren't the heroes of society. society's heroes are those who face the daily grind, stresses and dehumanization just to provide for their families. these MASS of undervalued humanity deserve recognition and appreciation for their sacrifices and hard work. where are the statues and memorials dedicated to the working poor? where are the accolades to the single parent raising a family on their own? our society is upside down, inside out and backwards. WE ADMIRE AND PRAISE THE WRONG PEOPLE!

  8. ... that's an excellent observation. it was so "on the nose" it made me laugh! i've been a clinical depressive for over 30 years and i've never had any problem asking for help. not just with my depression but with the causes of my depression or, with ANY problem i encounter. what i have a problem with is GETTING the help i ask for and so desperately need. when the public and private sectors of bureaucratic society continuously cause, perpetuate, worsen and then ignore the problems they, THEMSELVES, cause, when one can actually follow the laws, rules and policies of these bureaucracies and STILL get punished, when you're on disability for a condition yet are repeatedly DENIED treatment for that condition, you discover VERY QUICKLY, the problem isn't with you. i have a WONDERFUL self image. i'm smarter than all hell, i'm very empathetic, kind, polite and honest and i have a great sense of humour. i've always known my depression isn't my fault. my depression is derived from the apathy and cruelty of others and a society that allows these injustices to flourish. and i guess all this makes my type of depression very rare.

  10. POOR PEOPLE aren't allowed medical care of any kind much less mental health care. i've been a depressive for 40 years. i'm on disability for it among other things. i have NO QUALMS about asking for help FOR anything when i need it. ONE PROBLEM. when i ask for help i'm told to GO SCREW MYSELF! i've been DENIED medical care for numerous problems for over 40 years! so this RIDICULOUS suggestion that people ask for help when you need it IS BS! corporations will ignore you. businesses will ignore. politicians will ignore you. bureaucrats will ignore you. doctors will ignore you! cops will ignore you. lawyers will ignore you! judges will ignore you. social workers will ignore you! this is america. WE POOR HAVE NO GODDAMNED RIGHTS! and neither does 90% of the middle class. the ENTIRE capitalist system of greed and apathy is set up to REFUSE the citizenry the HELP IT NEEDS! that's the WHOLE point of capitalism. after all, there's NOTHING more important than making money. especially at the expense of the health and welfare of society.

  11. ... you can say that again. i'm a depressive and, yes, without trying to sound too arrogant, i do relate to these struggles. over the years i've found most everyone really despise intelligence and ethics. there's a quote by Komarovski in Dr. Zhivago - "There are two kinds of men and only two. And that young man is one kind. He is high minded. He is pure. He's the kind of man the world pretends to look up and in fact despises." this is how most people respond to me. they despise me for my ethics and intelligence. also, people tend to have an adverse opinion of me because i insist upon discussing issues and how these issues have a negative impact on my life and society in general. few want to discuss these issues and prefer hiding their heads in the sand. my conscience won't allow me to do this very often. people are in fact more often defeatists, apologists and so-called "pragmatists" and would rather just accept their abuse and victimization. so, i relate to a lot in this video. i only wish there were solutions to this apathy that so inflicts my species. we'd have a much better world if people only stopped accepting its injustices.

  12. then i'm no INFJ because i don't understand ANYONE! the entire world makes no sense. everything is upside down and inside out and nothing is as it should be, or, at least, could be. some see the world and ask why. i look at the what the world could be and ask - why not? some look at the world and ask no important questions whatsoever, i don't understand people's greed, cruelty or apathy. i don't understand human on human predation and the tendency for people to accept their own slavery. i don't understand how people can see the same thing and come to different conclusions. i don't understand how anyone can think conflict, war and hate are beneficial to humanity. i don't understand how anyone could just blindly and so compliantly accept their own addiction to and dependence on police-state technology. the world makes NO SENSE to me and i want no part of this god awful mess we call "modern" society.

  15. i'm a depressive but i don't hate myself. my depression is caused from external sources not internal ones. i once had a therapist who told me ALL depressives hate themselves and she spent weeks trying to convince me that i hate myself and all my problems are caused BY ME! man, did she get mad when i continued to resist her lies. why would i hate myself? - i'm the best friend i got. i'm extremely ethical, very smart (smarter than any therapist i ever had), funny, dependable, loyal, honest and i have great taste in music and movies. and i don't cause my problems, my problems are caused by predators and idiots who keep interfering in and screwing up my life. as far as i'm concerned the problem with depression in this country IS THE mental health industry. i'm not allowed to see an actual psychiatrist, they price themselves out of reach of 90% of those who could use them, the therapists i've had have been irresponsible and incompetent, at best, and the industry has shifted from "therapy" to pushing PILLS as the cure all for all your problems. its sickening as hell.

  19.  @riccardoarcuri7361  ... take it from me, the rejection king, its better to express your feelings than to hide them. the stress and anxiety of not expressing your feelings really build up over time. it can lead to resentment and animosity and even hate. also, you may never know how the other feels. they may be hiding their feelings from you fearing your rejection of them. believe me when i tell you, there's no greater regret in life than missing an opportunity because of some silly fear of rejection. i have not only been rejected but i've also rejected others. and i greatly respect those who overcame their anxiety and told me how they feel. they had more courage than i did, and i, often, regret it. meanwhile, back at the ranch... suzi's milking the cow and bobby's bilking the neighbors. will they ever find true love? tune in next week for the continuing story of... "as the cow plopps." (oh, man, i crack me up!)

  20.  @goatmealcookies7421  ... i absolutely despise my family; especially my siblings. even on the rare occasion they try to help me they end up either lying about it, sabotaging their own efforts or just bossing me around. they don't want to help, they want to CONTROL! i don't respond well to "authority" figures, abuse of power, or predatory opportunism. and even when i comply, out of desperation and having no choice, they just mess things up even worse. and of course, when THEY FAIL, they BLAME ME! i spend 90% of my time CORRECTING, or trying to correct, the mistakes and screw ups of others! and not just family, but i'm in a constant state of repair fixing the problems caused by neighbors, landlords, businesses and govt agencies. i follow their instructions and i get screwed ANYWAY! i'm screwed every time i turn around and i'm offered NO recourse, no protections, NO alternatives - NO AVENUES TO JUSTICE whatsoever. when your family harms you, you can always just walk away. but you CAN'T walk away from corrupt landlords, businesses and govt. THEY RULE YOU and there's no escaping THEM! i'm damned tired of being punished for the mistakes, incompetence and predation of others. i'm getting damned sick of this shit!

  21. i've met many people who couldn't say "no." most of these people, 99% of them, can't say "no" but can easily DO "no." in other words, they say yes, LIE about it, then just do whatever the hell they want to do. so, my experience has shown me most everyone's a damned liar. thanks to pop culture and corporate media, lying is now a perfectly acceptable solution to all our problems. i've even had "therapists" tell me to just lie if honesty can lead to my being uncomfortable, anxious or stressed. just look at trump. he's been a highly successful fraud and liar for over 50 years. HAS NEVER PAID ANY CONSEQUENCES FOR HIS FRAUD! successful liars are admired and rewarded by society. lying has become a convenient solution for any problem. when the truth and reality might offend someone, just lie to them to make them feel better. ITS MORE IMPORTANT TO MAKE PEOPLE FEEL BETTER ABOUT THEIR DELUSIONS THAN ENCOURAGING THEM TO ACCEPT REALITY! whenever reality and the truth challenges someone's delusions and self interest - JUST LIE! lie to delusional, mentally ill people to placate their delusions and make them happy. its called situational ethics and the pursuit of political agendas at ANY COST, even the cost of reality itself. 90% of humanity, right now, believe some lie their "leadership" is telling them. this is the gutter level our despicable pop, corporate culture has reduced humanity to. its absolutely disgusting. humans have lost their humanity.

  23. there's two kinds of success. there's "material" success. this is the success recognized by the elite and is achieved through ruthlessness, greed, fraud and theft. then there's ethical success. this is recognized by the buddha, socrates and jesus, and countless others. its the success derived from NOT succumbing to the temptations of the material world and its corruption that's so admired and accepted by the materialists. i'm the latter. with a few exceptions, i've maintained a strict ethical code of conduct my entire adult life. i REFUSE to lower myself to the level of the predators who rule the world and place so much emphasis on material objectives. I KNOW BETTER! i'm one of the most successful people who ever lived because i have the intelligence to put ethics above materialism. and i know for a fact materialism ISN'T the path to contentment and happiness.

  24. you want to end your depression? STAND UP TO INJUSTICE! devote your life to making a better world! give your life MEANING and PURPOSE! and one way to do that is to stop making EXCUSING for the injustices YOU suffer and the injustices all around you. stop ignoring reality and START FIGHTING for what's right. just see how quickly your depression leaves you. or at least lessons considerably.

  25.  @LoFi-Ghosty  ... actually i thought too. alternating bursts of fatigue and mania. you have to be very careful what you do when you're in that manic state. everything from irresponsible buying sprees to sexual promiscuity could result. me? i'm just a straight depressive. any energy spurts i experience simply raises me to the point of "normalcy." which doesn't last long. also, my depression is caused from negative external stimuli. my depression is derived from the miserable state of the world and all the pain it causes. this is BEYOND most people's compression. they think depression is a character flaw when in many cases its just an indication that you actually care and empathize with the overwhelming problems of others.

  28.  @Dragonflylane77  ... yep i agree. its a sad day when pushing evil imagery becomes profitable. but aside from that, how about those damned prices? corporations have made wearing over-priced apparel a status symbol, few can afford yet are sought by the young to conform to the rich. and now they're selling over-priced clothing that makes you LOOK poor or like a gang member. and a lot of these are being sold by rich, black rappers to take advantage of their own fans. the world is one messed up place alright.

  29. yes, freedom is a remarkable thing! you suffer from overwhelming stress, anxiety, depression and isolation? join the club. its called capitalism and this is what capitalism is designed to do. its designed to overwhelm you and take over your life. its designed to prevent you from receiving the help you need. its designed to disenfranchise and dehumanize you. if you're one of the few who receive "help" for your mental stress and anxiety you're most likely to be given MIRACLE PILLS! these overpriced and addictive pharmaceuticals WON'T actually make your life less stressful or anxious. these pills make you NUMB from your problems they don't resolve them. 95% of your problems are caused by an unjust and predatory social culture. PILLS WON'T RESOLVE THIS CULTURE! only social action will correct these problems. WE AREN'T SUPPOSED TO BE LIVING LIKE THIS! its unnatural which is what causes our stresses, anxieties, depression and isolation. you wanna feel better? FIGHT for a better world. one that's more in tune with our true nature, not one that's in opposition to it!

  30. the term "Machiavellianism" is just nonsense. there's no such psychological disorder. Machiavelli actually proposed being kind to the conquered to best control and rule them and lure them into compliance. narcissism and megalomania are synomonous. and the difference between sociopathy and psychopathy is - the former condition is caused by social conditions and environmental influences while the latter has genetic or biological foundations. i really think its counter productive to claim any differences at all in these very destructive and predatory personality types. they all boil down to malevolent callousness, cruelty, self-interest, manipulation and predation. so, why separate them? to further your careers in the psychology fields. many of these psychologists, themselves, demonstrate signs of predatory inclinations. let's face it, all mean, dispicable, untrustworthy predators are alike. I'VE identified one disorder that includes them all - I CALL IT "predatory psychosis." and we're ALL ruled by people who suffer from this condition. now i've identified 3 mental conditions previously ignored by the psychology industry; predatory psychosis, RTSD (which is Recurring Traumatic Stress Disorder) and the Helsinki Sydrome where an ENTIRE group or society suffers from the Stockholm Syndrome. guess what? I CAN'T GET MY CONCLUSIONS PUBLISHED! kinda makes you think don't it?

  31. there's nothing wrong with what you said. it doesn't matter or not if you know how anyone feels. it matters how yoiu react to how they feel. some people are gonna be depressed regardless of what you say or do. i suffer from depression. i often poke fun or criticise this channel for various reasons but this video is right on target. i'm a depressive and even i'll say the wrong thing to other depressives. generally speaking, we all have our own triggers and reactions. none of us are exactly alike. but this video does an excellent job covering some general rules. in my case, i tell people PRECISELY what i need from them to help me. they aren't outrageous or impossible suggestions. but simple guidlines to follow. but they don't listen. they just keep doing the things that harm me. why don't people listen? i don't get it. i listen to them.

I HAVE. and its helped me considerably. i even founded a NEW philosophy called "equalism" in pursuit of a better world. you want to end your depression? STAND UP TO INJUSTICE! devote your life to making a better world! give your life MEANING and PURPOSE! and one way to do that is to stop making EXCUSING for the injustices YOU suffer and the injustices all around you. stop ignoring reality and START FIGHTING for what's right. just see how quickly your depression leaves you. or at least lessons considerably.

  33.  @quessiant  ... i appreciate that. i've had PAINFUL physical conditions that've lasted over 40 years that i can't get treatment for. i've lived in poverty for 30 years. i'm on disability for depression for 25 years but i'm denied treatment for it. i've suffered from a delibitating CONSTANT dizziness for 12 years. can't get medical care for it. my teeth are falling out of my mouth in chunks but i can't get dental care. i just discovered i'm going blind in one eye. there's a surgery for it but i can't get the surgery. and that's a short list of my problems. i've screamed my damned head for decades but i'm constantly margainalized, censored and ignored. i'm damed sick and tired of living in a fascist country that treats its citicens like crap! i'm tired of getting screwed by every business i come into contact with. i'm tired of not having the right to access to the legal industry and sue because i'm poor. i reach out to others only to be mistreated, taken advantage of, manipulated or lied to. and i'm sick of the apathetic people who REFUSE to stand up for their own rights to make a better world. i think of suicide EVERYDAY! but for some reason i keep going. i'm tired of the pain, the lies, the apathy and the corruption. AND I'M DAMNED TIRED OF BEING SILENCED, ignored, margainalized and censored!

  38.  @tubesurfer4331  ... school prepares one for their future slavery to the elitist status quo. obedience and compliance to the corporate state is their objective. and that obedience includes the perpetuation of social divisions and conflict to help the elite maintain their control over us all. by picking a "side" and fighting it out against the opposing "side" you are declaring your intent to maintain the corporate status quo. both sides are telling us to use our eyes while at the same time conditioning us to deny observable reality. its all a game people, a rigged game, a scam. and our daily 9 to 5 grind within this system is just another way to distract us and fool us and enslave us. people ARE waking up to this daily dose of insanity but, i'm afraid, we're opening our eyes too slowly. our rulers have finally succeeded in turning humanity into a slave species. and things are only gonna get worse from here.

  39. i'm a depressive and, yes, without trying to sound too arrogant, i do relate to these struggles. over the years i've found most everyone really despise intelligence and ethics. there's a quote by Komarovski in Dr. Zhivago - "There are two kinds of men and only two. And that young man is one kind. He is high minded. He is pure. He's the kind of man the world pretends to looks up and in fact despises." this is how most people respond to me. they despise me for my ethics and intelligence. also, people tend to have an adverse opinion of me because i insist upon discussing issues and how these issues have a negative impact on my life and society in general. few want to discuss these issues and prefer hiding their heads in the sand. my conscience won't allow me to do this very often. people are in fact more often defeatists, apologists and so-called "pragmatists" and would rather just accept their abuse and victimization. so, i relate to a lot in this video. i only wish there were solutions to this apathy that so inflicts my species. we'd have a much better world if people only stopped accepting its injustices.

  40.  @bwash6743  ... very lonely indeed. i always related most to the "lisa" character on the simpsons. she exemplifies the problems "smart" people face on a daily basis. she is often the most ethical character on the show as well. and people often attack her for her ethics and intelligence. you can see her loneliness and isolation in almost every episode. for me, as her, i don't isolate myself, others isolate me from them. i reach out, they shut me out. its sad really. because if people weren't such a-holes they could benefit a lot from relationships with us smart people. i have a lot to offer as a teacher, mentor and a friend. but people most often recoil from what i can contribute to their lives.

  41. i understand you're point. but i'm nothing like my parents or my siblings. somehow i escaped their genetic stupidity. there's so many things wrong here. for one thing - its not a sign of intelligence to allow yourself to be exploited and do jobs your WEREN'T hired to do. and "i told you so" is perfectly acceptable when you're constantly ignored and things get screwed because of the stupidity of others. i'm CONSTANTLY punished for the mistakes of others and i'm damned sick of it. there's other examples too. now, please do a video where using sexually oriented expletives in your common speech is a sign of ignorance and immaturity. i'm constantly hearing idiots defend the indefensible saying there's nothing wrong using the "f" word in everyday speech, around kids, in public, as a verb, adjective and noun. that disgusting word is in our movies, tv shows, our songs, on t-shirts and protest signs. IT EVERYWHERE! you can't escape it and its damned disgusting.

  42. you suffer from overwhelming stress, anxiety, depression and isolation? join the club. its called capitalism and this is what capitalism is designed to do. its designed to overwhelm you and take over your life. its designed to prevent you from receiving the help you need. its designed to disenfranchise and dehumanize you. if you're one of the few who receive "help" for your mental stress and anxiety you're most likely to be given MIRACLE PILLS! these overpriced and addictive pharmaceuticals WON'T actually make your life less stressful or anxious. these pills make you NUMB from your problems they don't resolve them. 95% of your problems are caused by an unjust and predatory social culture. PILLS WON'T RESOLVE THIS CULTURE! only social action will correct these problems. WE AREN'T SUPPOSED TO BE LIVING LIKE THIS! its unnatural which is what causes our stresses, anxieties, depression and isolation. you wanna feel better? FIGHT for a better world. one that's more in tune with our true nature, not one that's in opposition to it!

  43.  @lelandgregory5897  ... i appreciate your kind reply. my philosophy is called equalism. everything i write is a reflection of this philosophy. equalism reexamines and rejects many positions the right and left hold as dogma. and it tries to uncover the causes, both psychological and sociological, of what's been inflicting humanity for 1000's of years that's gotten us to this horrendous point in human history. for instance, why do people continue to believe not only corporate lies but the lies of their own "leadership" even after past lies have been uncovered and the detrimental effects of those lies have been demonstrated. in other words, i can't figure out why people continue to believe and do the same things over and over again even after its been shown these things have the opposite effect than what was initially intended.

  44.  @anthonyt2011  ... oh wonderful. a flat earther pushing corporate created miracle chemicals to solve all our problems that, in fact, these corporations create. these corporations tell us, deny reality, just take this pill, once a day, for life. it'll solve your problems! stress, anxiety, depression and fear exist for a reason. they're nature's warning signs. nature's telling humanity, stop living this way you fools. stop participating in the very system that does YOU HARM! we're told to avoid personal relationships that are harmful to us. that make us feel bad about ourselves. why not apply that advice to society as well? its because if you fix the society that's causing your problems they can't sell you their overpriced and addictive pills.

  45.  @aalhard  ... i prefer the word "ethical" but YES! this is the only true success, the success in maintaining a strong ethical code of conduct in a world ruled by graft, fraud and predation. socrates, jesus, tom pain, henry david thoreau, asmov, gandhi and orwell are all examples of success people who stood up for what's right. it takes courage and fortitude to achieve this being that many are ridiculed, ostracized and even murdered for doing so. any 2-bit dweeb can be make a million bucks. all it takes is a shit load of luck. but to live your life truly successfully REQUIRES integrity, honesty, empathy and strong dedication and has nothing to do with how much money you can steal.

  46. i think we all "distract." isn't that the whole idea behind entertainment? to distract us from our daily burdens and to ignore the world as it crashes and burns? i think we all need a lot LESS distractions so we can dedicate ourselves to making a better world. man, did i just post a distraction?

  47.  @deviouscrackers  ... sometimes what brings us the most pleasure can also do us the most harm. so don't fret avoiding "good things." just DON'T let it get to the point where you purposely self harm. if that happens, seek help immediately. as for avoiding attachments; in my case, i don't avoid them. they avoid me. the way i see it, that's their loss not mine. i'll always choose being alone over having a-holes and jerks as friends. been there, done that. NEVER AGAIN! i'm the best friend i got. and i'm great company.

  48. i've been a suicidal depressive for 30 years. i'm on disability for it. after 3 suicide attempts (and one fake one) i think i have a lot to offer in terms of the lessons i've learned from my own experiences. i'm not only NOT ashamed of my depression - i've been screaming my head off about it for 30 years. and i've been, mainly, ignored and even ridiculed for it. i've written exposés about the abuses, failings and shortcomings of the psychological industry. i've written MANY articles and books about these subjects. guess what? i'm not allowed to be published! i'm not allowed to share my experiences and observations. they only wanna hear from rich, famous people who claim to suffer from depression. as of right now, i have no family or friends. if i died at home tomorrow, by any means, i wouldn't be discovered for weeks or months. if i didn't have to pay rent i wouldn't be discovered for YEARS! we must face REALITY! no one cares! everyone has their own problems. they're too busy to care about the problems of others. THIS IS INTENTIONAL! this is how the elite have molded society. they want us ALL so distracted and overcome by our own daily problems and emergencies we're INCAPABLE of concern for the problems of others. they don't want us helping each other. they want us divided and in perpetual conflict so they, the elite, maintain their power, wealth and privilege. once we realize this fact, we can battle our own depression by helping ONE ANOTHER! stop playing this game that's rigged against you. UNITE and fight the injustices and INSANITY of the world. when you dedicate your lives to such endeavors you'll be surprised at just how quickly your depression subsides or dissipates all together.

  49. "overreaction to things that would usually be only mildly annoying" is the result of inundation. when "little" problems are piled on one after another, constant and never ending that's what creates the so-called "overreaction." and when this flood of little problems are combined with the BIG problems we commonly face - then you learn you're reactions aren't extreme at but a normal reaction to EVERYTHING going wrong in your life and its ALL out of your control. when bad things happen to you regardless of what you do to prevent or stop them, when the bad things are constantly caused by others and you realize you have absolutely no say or control over your own life - that can result in depression. i'm damned sick and tired of others interfereing with screwing up MY LIFE! this and "Weltschmerz" (the knowledge of the pain and suffering of others) is what causes my severe depression. and it doesn't help when so-called "medical professionals" deny my treatment or counseling or help in any way. i'm denied all sorts of medical care on a regular basis and that doesn't help either.

  50. ​ @usernameisunavailable8270  ... depression has causes. it doesn't just happen without a reason. the mental health industry tells us its caused from a chemical imbalance in the brain. maybe, maybe not. but they never address the environmental stimuli that causes this imbalance. all they do is push overpriced HAPPY PILLS on people WITHOUT treating the underlying social causes of this depression PANDEMIC! anxiety, stress, depression (even hate, delusion, paranoia and apathy are mental illnesses) are being reported at all time highs! why? there's a reason for it. its our society that causes THESE ILLNESSES! we're being FORCED to live in a manner contrary to nature and our natural instincts. WE AREN'T SUPPOSED TO BE LIVING THIS WAY and no damned HAPPY PILL is going to correct this SOCIAL INSANITY we're all being forced to endure.
