You clearly don't like what I've expressed, shared on this thread but that's no reason to attack me for it. You don't have to feel bad because I have different views that don't correspond to what you believe, have learnt. I do not know any of you who use this online site well so I can't tell what you've experienced, what's led to your depression and how you respond to things. I'm only basing my insights, understanding from reading and talking with others, going to mental health groups, therapy, psychological courses and workshops and from own life experiences. I said that you have right to believe what you want and no one is right or wrong. We just have different views, perspectives and experiences of depression, no standard same correct way. It is complex to understand the hidden underlying issues behind depression but it is important. It isn't healthy to contain, bottle up difficult emotions/feelings but people do esp if are sensitive, passive. We can also be prone to make things worse than they really are for us, be our own worst enemies or harshest critics. I haven't accused anyone of wanting or choosing to be depressed..not said its anyone's fault and that they are wrong to think depression is just to do with chemical imbalance or genetics, that's just their choice to think that, I don't follow what others think blindly-im open minded. I have right to my own personal perspective and notion of things in life. You don't know me my real self..what I'm like Or what I've been through, experienced. Only I do.
