I think depression has a lot to do with one's own choices. If you disagree, that's great, but if you're going to tell me I don't get it because I don't have it then I'll tell you you're just a drama queen who is seeking sympathy by pretending to suffer from depression.
That's the entire thing about clinical depression, EP. It has nothing to do with choice or rational thought. Just like you can't talk yourself out of experiencing a delusion or a hallucination, you can't talk yourself out of depression. The emotions just blossom like horrible fireworks; uninvited and completely uncontrollable. It hijacks your brain and eats away at your personality. It is a mental illness. It's not the same thing as just "having a bad attitude" or, "being a negative nancy."
