A good attitude may help at times, but it doesn't defeat depression for good. It always comes back to give you a swift kick in the ribs again later on. Actually, someone telling me to "just get over it" just makes it worse. Anyone who actually has depression instead of just sadness would realize how bad that sounded.I know it doesn't defeat it for good, nor is it an easy thing to do, but it helps a lot, I think.
I'm not sad, ok? I'm depressed. So stop acting like the victim here. You don't know what I go through, just because I act like I don't, ok?
"Don't act like the victim here." Right. More things people without depression tell me every day. Thanks.
