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.
This attitude of yours just makes me think you're seeking attention. I have it far worse than you do with depression, which is why the only way to cope with it is to dismiss it constantly and pretend it's not that big of a deal(it is). You have no idea what that's like, you're still in the phase where you get offended because someone mischaracterized your depression. I'm in the one where it's so much a part of my being and it has been for so long that I can't dissasociate myself from it at all, so I just end up denying part of who I am, which only makes everything worse.
