Pussies have taken over the word "depression" to mean broken or something. I think we all fall into depression every now and then. Some harder than others. The difference is, like you said, the strong work through it and find a way back to happiness.
Most depression is situational. Humans were not meant to be slappy-happy all the time. Being down or angry some of the time is normal.
Eventually they'll classify everything as a mental illness.
THAT'S CRAZY!
I bet if you showed me your hard on I wouldn’t be depressed anymore
I'll take that bet https://thumb-p7.xhcdn.com/a/FhQeugQPMgYUc8K16c0bZA/000/127/479/427_450.jpg
Most depression is situational.
But that's not clinical depression. The brain really does break sometimes, and it's not easy to figure it out.

This is true.
I come from a family that struggles with clinical depression. It seems all the females in my family have it. It doesn't matter what they do, it's always there. And they will probably always have it.
I had the situational depression with the death of my wife. And I was worried that I would become like them. After 2 months of taking some low doses of medication I stopped taking it and continued my therapy. I still have my sad moments for sure. But it's not that overwhelming sadness and wishing for it all to end. Just a normal person now with all the highs and lows as to be expected.
So it depends on the person.
Yes this, also personal conspiracy theory of mine in commiefornia: One of the things that can stop you from being able to buy a gun is "mental health issues" There is a big push right now to "stop the stigma of mental health" What they really want is people to say they have mental health issues when they are depressed. Then they will buy anti-pression pills from big pharma, which then justifies and makes people need their mandatory health insurance in the state, it also will bar them from being able to buy a gun, and at the same time help justify any red flag accusations to take any guns you might already have.
Instead, if you are depressed it's probably because your life sucks for some reason, figure it out and change your habits.
Sometimes the brain actually malfunctions, it's not so simple.
yes I also agree with you. If someone like a friend comes to you and says "I am sad all the time and I don't know why. I think about my life and everything seems good and yet I am sad and it makes no sense" Then yes I would say this person has depression and needs help. But when I hear commercials on the radio telling you that if you are sad you might have depression...that makes me suspicious.
I've had pretty much the same theory for a few years now. I think you're dead on.
I'm sure a have a similar plan with the legal weed. Can people with a medical marijuana license still buy guns normally?
No
this is the PDF I found of all the things that would put you on the forbidden to own a firearm list in california, The first part mentions narcotics, Idk if weed counts as a narcotic.

Yeah, real clinical depression is an entirely different beast from the tumblr tier "omg I'm so depressed". In my personal experience, to suffer from depression is to feel entirely empty, devoid of any and all emotions. You want to feel frustrated that you cannot feel anything, yet you cannot feel frustration either. It feels like a piece of your soul is missing, like you lost something that made you human. Every day is hell, and death seems like the only salvation. As the depression drags on, all hope of eventually simmers out. The loss of hope that it might one day get better is one of the core symptoms of depression. There's constant rumination about all the things you've done wrong in your life.
True, severe depression is one of the worst diseases, and it is a spiritual ailment of the soul in a decaying and diseased society. In my case, the first emotion I felt when I started recovering was loneliness. I did not recognize it at first. It felt like something was eating away at me, and it hurt. I was missing something, but I couldn't quite put my finger on it. Then I figured out this feeling was loneliness. When I was internalized with other depressed people, you could see it in their eyes. Glazed over. When they walked, it was like they were dragged forward by invisible chains, and their shoulders were weighted down by heavy weights, causing them to slump over. Some of them would just sit in one spot all day and stare ahead. I was the same.
Since when did men give a fuck about happiness? I thought men just did what needed to be done. This whole idea of being happy all the time is utter nonsense in my opinion.
I have been depressed for years and didnt even know it. I always though depression meant you wanted to kill yourself.
Maybe you weren't clinically depressed, just in anhedonia.
Maybe you could help us with our depression by showing us your dick. You care don’t you. I’m feeling blue today why don’t you help me out
Kind of the same here. Ever since my dad passed (He was by far my best friend), I'll have these funks every now and then. It's not a normal sad. I'll feel crippled, lost, hopeless, etc. The wife normally picks up on it and knows I just need some space for a moment to deal with it. That's the thing though. I work through it and deal with it.
But, yeah. It took a while to realize that those moments are what most would call depression.
That’s how mine got at one point. I was in a bad place in life. Then I did some acid. Needless to say that was a mistake. It fucked me up for months. I couldn’t sleep more than 3 hours. I was having dreams I was dead. All Kinds of shit. That went away, came back, finally when I couldn’t take it I started going to the gym and whipping my own ass. Shit helps more than any drug, booze, therapy, or prayer. It’s what i tell people now. You go to the gym. You don’t leave till You’re exhausted. It’ll Clear up a lot of bulllshit. It’s the best medicine
Iv had depression forever iv just gotten used to it. It got real bad a couple years ago so I started working out and it really kicked most of it out. It’s always there but it’s in the background now
