  1. ... 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.

  3. ​ @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.

  5.  @IraisWr  ... i agree. the mental health industry has become no better than any other corporate corrupted, profiteering industry. "therapists" are just untrained, unqualified, low-level, cheap replacements for trained, but over-priced doctors. the poor get "therapists" while the rich get psychiatrists. like everything else under capitalism - the rich get the professionals they want. then they set up a system that denies the rest of us the access to what the rich get access to. the same restrictions apply to the lawyer industry. the lawyer industry has been allowed to over-charge for their services thus denying legal representation to those who need them most - THE MIDDLE-CLASS AND THE POOR! we keep being told - if you need help just ASK for it! i can't count how many times i reached out for help only to be denied, ignored, dehumanized and disenfranchised. we're being scammed people; DEFRAUDED everyday.

  7. i was just screwed by stater bros grocery store today. in the last year alone, i've been screwed by stater bros, TECHNOLOGY, my mom, my brother, my sister, her daughter, TECHNOLOGY, my landlord, the state of california, the tax allocation committee, the cops, TECHNOLOGY, the medical industry, at&t, wells fargo, amazon, wards, hewlett-packard, TECHNOLOGY, microsoft, spectrum, dial-a-ride, 3 insurance companies, the used car industry and carmax (3 TIMES). and this is STILL an incomplete list. i have NO legal recourse to correct these crimes being committed against me. which means i'm being screwed by the lawyer industry too! i know my experiences aren't unique. i'll bet 95% of those on this very thread are screwed by our predatory society on a regular basis as well. and there's not damned thing any of you can do about it either. and people wonder why there's a damned PLAGUE of depression, anxiety and stress inundating the world? all anyone has to do is open their eyes and look outside their own windows to see the cesspool our species has allowed our society to become to grasp the CAUSES of this mental illness PLAGUE!
