I just think that a lot of the discussion going on in these forums are acutally to "alleviate" the symptoms.

I don't really see the deep talking, and the deep support that really helps. We are making threads about chemical imbalance, to try and explain our depression. I think it's absolutely going in the wrong direction, and that's someone saying these assumptions who is actually coming out of the hole, and made a LOT of progress. So I let myself be honest and cruel because I have the experience and fundaments for it.

If it really was a depression forum to help solve the problems, we would actually be talking about deep psychological stuff with each other. But I don't see that here anywhere, just all the talk about the pain and the meds. I been there too. And I know that mentality only lead me to become even more depressed.

I think most of the people in these boards are just too scared to admit they have issues, and try to solve them.
And you guys blame EVERYTHING else BUT yourselves.
I'm not saying you guys should blame yourselves, because it's only normal that we react with depression and anxiety to certain traumas and events. But I really believe that those who really want to defeat depression, you have to change this mentality of always saying just "hugs" and "supportive things" to each other. On the surface you may think it helps, but it really just helps to keep eachother in this hopeless situation.

Yes I do think Jeffro needs to dig deeper in his self, and stop worrying about biology and medication. And I will always keep this as my opinion, because I know that this is the mentality that actually helps defeating depression.

Not the hugs and the meds.
