It makes me angry when people pretend to be depressed?
I have depression and anxiety. At one time, I quit college, couldn't get a job, felt like I didn't want to wake up in the morning. I couldn't cope with reality. I was angry, irritated, scared, hopeless, sad, and a million other emotions at once. Every moment was torment. That was anxiety, that was depression and it was crippling. I am taking medication now. I know this one girl, she lives with her parents, she works, but doesn't pay bills. She is always posting pictures about her cosplay and her new projects and how she seems really happy and able to live life pretty normally. And yet, she tries to literally brag about how she has this horrible depression. It seems like she is full of ****. If you really have depression, there is a slim chance that you can get out of bed...let alone get up, make full costumes, prance around in them and go out into public. Am I right, or am I being a jerk? I know that many might say, "everyone deals with depression differently." Well, she doesn't seem like she is depressed or deeply crippling depressed or anxious like she says...or she wouldn't be living life so easily.
What makes me even more irritated, is that she outright said that she doesn't want to take medication for her "Severe," depression because taking medication is exisiting..but not living.
I think that my medication is the only thing that helps me to be a normal human being. I can now cope with reality and I can get up in the morning and she has the odacity to say that it causes a person to EXISIT, instead of LIVE. How the hell does she know?
