You have it far worse? I have no idea what it's like? Right. Because you know me so well. You met me a few minutes ago. Don't patronize me.
I'd turn that around on you real quickly because of the terrible advice that you are giving out. I'm glad it that works for you. Wonderful. Stop acting like it's a cure-all for everyone else though. It seriously grates on the nerves after the thousandth time I've heard it.
No, you're just self-pitying, and I'm telling you it doesn't help you. You're literally contributing to your own problem, I think.
I do suffer from depression. How can you tell me otherwise? You expect me to get all offended just like you, right?
Well, I'm sorry, but depression doesn't affect everyone the same. Just because I'm depressed as fuck, doesn't mean I'll constantly complain about it. Some people can afford to. I just can't. If I were to complain I'm scared about what a much darker pit I'd fall into. It doesn't take much with me.
No, I'm not self-pitying. I'm calling out the error of your advice. I'd rather not share enough details with a stranger to call for self pity. I'm not in the mood for that. I'm also not in the mood for someone to put words in my mouth.
I really don't care if you do or do not suffer from depression. I am skeptical because of the advice you are giving though. Like I said, if it works for you, wonderful. But, like you just said, depression doesn't affect everyone the same. You are throwing out the same advice that many people with depression who it does not work for hear all the time. Now go back to doing your thing and stop telling the rest of us to get over it.
