because cancer is a more severe DISEASE. that will kill you. something which is much more important. its like saying a child bully and an adult bully are on the same league.
they say that so you can feel comforted by the fact that youre not alone in this struggle. youre not special.

I had leukemia when I was 4-8 and was depressed form December 2010-October 2011 and, in my opinion the depression was worse.

anecdotal fallacy.
besides. its irrelevent. leukemia attacks the body and will most of the time kill you. its not something that can be helped with therapy.

depression is just intense sadness.

I think that leukimia is worse to have but I feel that my depression was a worse experience than my leukemia.

Again.
Anecdotal fallacy

you clearly dont know much about depression do you?
"intense sadness" is a symptom of depression, not the whole fucking thing
depression is an illness that makes you want to kill yourself
if that doesnt sound like a shitty thing to have i don't know what does
you're not just sad, nor just intensely sad, everything in life gets worse
stuff you love? I used to practice bass and guitar around 4 hours a day, now i cant see any point to my favourite parts of life
It completely changes you
and the only "easy" way to get better is to take shitty anti-depressant crutch-meds that you eventually have to taper off on and go through shitty withdrawal symptoms

You're an anecdotal fallacy.

did you just compare depression to cancer?
also whats wrong with people feeling sorry for you? youre depressed, they feel sad about it. it sounds a lot like youre autistic.

yes i did, they're both illnesses, so why not?
either way it barely matters, it could have been "oh you have a cold? its okay, he has one too" - the point of it is IT SHOULDN'T MAKE YOU FEEL BETTER

and theres nothing wrong with people feeling sorry for me, its just people who outwardly expressing pity towards me. Theres nothing to feel sorry about anyways, I have depression, so what? everyone has their problems, this just happens to be one of mine.
