Is there anyone here that is NOT depressed?

Ok, well, I'm a clinically depressed person on the forum, and I do yoga daily, hoop dance, spend lots of time outside- it's easy to do when you live where I do- and spend as much time with my friends/family as possible. Do you see why it might be offensive for you to make stereotypes like you have? And depression isn't necessarily caused by outside factors. In my case, I was born that way, just as many others were.

Again, I'm not intending to offend anyone, but there is a correlation between depression and heavy internet use. Many people on these forums are addicted to the internet, many are depressed. Of course I can't prove that it has anything to do with it because I don't feel like spending hours researching everyone's personal history just to prove a point. However I'd be extremely surprised if it didn't contribute to some people's problems.

If it isn't what's causing your depression and you are aware of your own problems and what is causing them then I don't see any reason to be offended. Some of it is also based on my own personal experiences. I just don't really talk about it because I find arguments based on myself (which could not apply to anyone else but me) to be amongst the weakest of arguments.
