Far from annoying,these guys think were depressed and stupid,first of all i can only speak for myself of course but i dont even like to use the term DEPRESSION,i became symtpomatic at age 19,so i remeber the other side of the grass.
I know what depression is,its usualy a external situation,although could be just a mood,where a person feels down,kinda empty,they usualy then seek a resource,tv,phone call to a friend,even some beer,maybe a night out,or possably just call it a day and sleep it off.This is just a mood.
I do not suffer this,i do not seek happiness..........rather i seek RELIEf,i am not at a stable state looking to reach a higher level of joy,instead i am in a constant state of emotional pain,numbess,anxiety,discomofort,fatigue and endless symptoms that vary through the day but are ALWAYS present
What i hope from these drugs,is to simply allow me to subdue the pain just enough so I CAN DO THE THINGS THAT will make me who i am.
"DEPRESSION" is constant,and because of that it robs u of your personality,your humour,your whole ora,and it also robs others from ever getting to know the real u.You cant hang out and be yourself while your sitting there on fire do your best to simply not get up 'scream and head for the hills.
AH thats the kind of thinking towards what i have that made me stop telling anyone outside my circle anything about me in that sense,i dont bother arguing anymore and it infuriates me when they try to force this idea upon me,as if i never thought to myself......."wait,what am i doing,why dont i go out,have fun! and give up this whole im sick routine,.........arr very frustrating
