Alright, I promised myself that I wouldn't touch this subject, but here I am. So, depression. What is it exactly? Well, feelings of severe despondency and dejection is what the definition is. Deapondency is a state of low spirits caused by loss of hope or courage. Dejection is a sad and depressed state; low spirits. Basically, it's when someone feels unexplainably sad all the time. People with depression tend to show these symptoms.

Alcohol/Drug Abuse

Insomnia/Excessive Sleeping

Irritability

Loss of interest in favorite activities.

Hopelessness

Persistent thoughts something bad will come.

Thoughts of death/suicide or suicide attempts
H

allucinations/Delusions/etc

A person with depression has a lot of issues as you see here. Anyhow, now that we have educated ourselves on what depression is exactly, I'm going to explain some of the things I have seen.

People on social media have the power to post literally anything they want as long as it isn't a dead body or something else. Basically, we have people who use social media to make new friends, talk to old or current friends, share art, and more, but some people start posting pictures of them feeling sad or being depressed or anything of the sort. I'm usually not someone who will to onto people's pages and tell them that they're lying, because how the heck would I know? Yet, there are definately people out there who feel the need to lie and be edgy for attention.

Yes, I know there are genuinely depressed people out there, but I also know we have attention seekers out there that post crap to hoard in comments like "don't feel sad girl im here!" or "please don't be sad!!! I'll hug you and do anything to make you happy again!" There are people out there that seek attention by saying they're depressed even though they don't have a reason to be. They could've posted 5 pictures before saying "look at my new iPhone guyssssssss!!!" or "oh my god my dad got me a frickin LAPTOP! Best daddy EVER!" and then they go on to post this.

isten here buttercup. I think a REAL person with depression wouldn't actually post something like this. I'm rather sure they'd like to keep the fact they're sad all the time to themselves or at least talk to someone they trust. They wouldn't share it with the world. Okay, okay, maybe a few would, but they probably wouldn't have the 5 or 6 posts of new shut they got before that was posted literally hours after those.

People like this are assholes. I'm not gonna lie, they're ASSHOLES. They're taking credit away from people who are genuinely depressed because they want a few comments and likes. People who say they cut are a WHOLE different story all together.

What i'm trying to say is, please, of you for this. Stop. If you have real depression, call the suicide hotline, talk to family and/or friends, seek help of a doctor or therapist. If you need someone to talk to, I'm free. Hit me up on kik if you have to. Username is in my bio.

For those of you that aren't depressed and are just being attention whores, please for the love of god, stop. Depression fucking sucks okay. Don't take away credit to someone who actually has it because your either slightly sad or you want a few more comments or something for your ego.

Please don't unfollow me because you decided you don't agree. At least, if you do, say something.

Love you sugarlings!
