just sharing this cuz i realized that there are still people on this site that don't understand how depression works.

i don't care about thumbs i'm just ******* pissed that people don't understand that depression is a serious thing and isn't easy to fix.

also if you're struggling with depression just remember FJ cares about you and there are plenty of people on this site that would be willing to talk to you about their own struggles with depression.

I've come this far i guess i might as well share part of my story.

I've struggled with depression for the last four years. It wasn't until recently that I had
somewhat of a breakthrough.

I go to a christian college. I even used to be an RA there.
I was a bible thumping, church going, hardcore, christian.
however God didn't seem to help me, neither did my family, or my friends.

long story short, I decided to quit my job as an RA even though I loved it.
I also decided to step away from my beliefs as a christian.

It hasn't fixed all my problems but taking a solid intentional break has at least
let me see things a little more clear and be a little more positive as well as help me
in my decision to seek counseling and seek medication.

I don't mean for this to become a religious debate, so don't take this as you should do what I did I'm just sharing what's helped me.
If people turn to any religion or lack thereof and it seems to help them with depression that's awesome.
People are all different and have different ways with coping with depression.

in the meantime here's one of my favorites webms to lighten the mood

This video is really accurate and I can relate so you have my thumb.

I've seen a lot of people on FJ having problems with depression and such lately. Maybe it's becoming thing, but it really doesn't matter. I have a theory about why there are many with mental illness, handicaps here depression on this site, and i'd like you to read it.

Recently I read a comment by fedoralover of all FJ users it had to be him where he was defending his red thumb streak, and this was basically what he said "I get tons of red thumbs, you get tons of green. Still, it doesn't matter because these thumbs have no objective value and won't affect your everyday life." I say basically because I don't remember exactly what he wrote. You know fedoralover... the way he would make this comment seem more retarded.

Anyway, I don't agree with him. After the first line in this comment it is normal to suspect that I have depression, which I do. Depression creates another point of view for me as a person. Let's call it the "black dog point of view" cuz it sounds cool and is related to the content. When I get green thumbs on content or comments and sees it parading on the frontpage or the top comment section, I get a huge confidence boost and that my friend, really affects my life positively. It might sound simple and childish, but I think many FJ'ers can relate. Watching people positively respond to your jokes, opinions etc. really helps me control "the black dog"... But it works the other way as well. If I get red thumbs "the black dog" knocks down my door, comes waltzing in my room and whispers in my ear "U don goofed now boi". So it's kind of a gamble for me, but usually the people on this site are sensible and understanding. Basically, as long as i'm not a dick, I won't get red thumbs.

I actually started this comment trying to say that I don't agree with posting content about your own problems on FJ. It's like your trying to force the viewers to pity you. I never write about my own problems Unless it's in a smart ass comment like above and I don't want pity. Trust me, you don't want people to pity. It's like giving your black dog bacon. Plus, normal people read things like this and think you're a self pitying piece of egg. Anti-depressants was a failed experiment on me and through 5 years of experience in this hell, my advice to you is: The future you wan't is reachable, but you don't reach it by pushing you problems on other people. You have to make it on your own.

I myself has not reached this future, but i'm determined to do so, even if it takes many years more.

Threatening to delete negative comments and being like "none of you understand this, I understand this, **** you guys" Isn't a great way to get your point across. As an adult living with depression, I can tell you this is definitely not the way to go about educating others, because it sounds like what every teenage girl posts all the time because of puberty. No trolls are going to see this and be like "wow, you're right, I'm going to be more respectful to your situation". I'm sympathetic to the situation you face but your tone seems more angry than helpful, and you're just going to get more upset when you see the responses you get

i guess that's fair. and i'll admit when i uploaded this i was pretty emotional.

i was just getting done with debating someone who was an idiot and didn't know **** about depression.

so i guess my attitude towards that individual really effected my description when it shouldn't have.

so thanks for the advice. i've calmed down now.
