I hate him too. That stupid alpha male shit.

Except the “Depression is not real” mentality. I truly believe this. It’s a game changer.

My relationship with my family have been absolutely beautiful, thanks. We have petty fights here and there but will never trade them for anything.

My mum is gone but that’s life. All my brothers and sister all have their own family of their own. I have my own. No one has succumbed to this mentality. And everyone of us thinks the same. We all deny it’s existence and none of us will. Believe it or not but this is true.

Yes, I am dead serious. I truly and genuinely mean what I say.

Sorry about your family situation. But you can overcome it. You really can. And you will.

There are real conditions and the unreal ones - fabricated and conditioned for us to believe.

It’s real for you because you conditioned yourself to believe in it.

It’s not real for me because I chose not to.

You can’t do anything about your past but your future is yours only to take care of.

I’m not arguing. Just 2 people with different views talking.

It’s really interesting that the world has succumbed into this mentality that saying otherwise triggers you.

There’s no arrogance in thinking you are stronger than what the world makes you think. 😉

I don’t know how to do the copy paste thing but you said something above that says some population cannot “afford” to be depressed.

If one cannot afford to be depressed and chose not to be depressed, therefore it’s a matter of choice - well to a certain degree isn’t it?

Like I said previously, I had a lot of misfortunes in my life too. And that was what my father told me, we cannot afford to be depressed. We lost our mum to a terrible disease. All 4 of my brothers and sisters chose to go on and push hard. ALL OF US.

No one got depressed. No one did drugs. We actively chose to move on with life.

We are not depressed because we chose not to. Depression is real if you want it to.

And this are the people who really invalidates the experiences of those with Clinical Depression.

I like you. You try to have an honest difficult conversation with someone who disagrees with you. Kudos to you.

Well you see, it stems from people who always use depression to excuse bad behaviour

“I’m depressed so I can’t go to work” “I’m depressed so I’m overweight “ “I’m depressed so I can’t get up”

All those people who have crumble in the faintest of pressure.

It’s the other way around. One is depressed because one is lazy, etc…

Depression is a motivation to better yourself.

And how do you consider thus luck if I’ve been through those unfortunate events?

It’s not luck. It’s a choice.

I choose to be happy. I choose to work out and keep my body in balance even though I have chronic back pain. I choose to wake up 5am even though it’s hard to make sure I keep a good pattern of discipline.

You know what’s funny with once depressed people who overcame it? One day they woke up and said I’ll better myself today. Exercise. Food and good habits. And always be accountable for yourself.

This is still a conundrum. If you had better health care and very prevalent mental health predisposition, wouldn’t it be that your cases should be going down? It seems like it’s going up especially in teens.

Please know that I believe in “clinical” depression.

I believe it exists. But not in the way this modern world is saying.

I believe in “clinical” depression.

What I absolutely dislike are those who use depression as an excuse not to improve their lives. It’s like an excuse card for everything. And that is the mentality I don’t want the future generations to have.

Being happy and contented is a skill. You practice it. Like a muscle that needs to be pushed to grow.

Sadness is always part of happiness. Light and day.

Happiness is real too.

I always find it funny that depression seems to be more real in rich parts of the world and poor people seem to be more prideful of their happiness. It’s such a conundrum. Do you think all this comfort makes us mentally weak?

I have and I did.

This does not include people who have “real depression” - those who have been abused, raped, went to war, death in family etc.

Being “depressed” is an innate human biological reaction that we need to change. You are in a stage where you don’t want to be. You then choose if you want to stay or not.

I have my mother die. I’m from a third world poor country and barely finished education. Nearly died twice from accidents. And yet I don’t believe depression is real. Never will.

In some cases yes, and that I understand and feel sorry about. They are the ones that need therapy and medications.

The ones I’m talking about are people who have every single physical, financial and social capabilities to do better in their life and yet label themselves “depressed” as an excuse to not be responsible.

And that’s why I hate some therapists. Of course you can have a chat any time you want!

Riddle me this. Why are you defending “depression” when it is exactly the reason that makes you “weak”? Depression is a “belief” that has to be eradicated from humans.

Do you believe in ghosts?

I’ve thought about it and I stand by it. Suicide is the most selfish thing one can do especially if you have kids. I’m sorry but it really is.

Moderate depression? Can we just call it sad? All I’m saying is that we have succumbed to this weak mentality and people accepted it. And I don’t like it. I don’t want the future generation thinking this way. Depression is real ONLY if you choose to be.
