not to dismiss or belittle your condition but there are varying levels of depression. i have depression. i have been through a lot with my depression. i'm one of those people who can still function but feel absolutely nothing inside. for the majority of my struggle, i never contemplated suicide until recently.squeegeegloss16 wrote:I think what insults me the most is when several of these gurus claim they have depression. Smokeypinkleopard, Lolufullyloaded, Glassslipperbeauty, and now Meghanrosette all suffer from severe depression. I know that Alexa and Lo actually suffered from a seriously deep depression as they were both self-harming and Alexa actually had to be hospitalized. I too was hospitalized for my depression and I have to take several different medications in order to stabilize my mood. I just get so frustrated when these teenage girls self-diagnose themselves with something as serious as depression or anxiety?! I just can't honestly believe that Allie and Meghan both wanted to kill themselves and sought psychological help who then diagnosed them with these disorders and are now taking medication. Because otherwise, they aren't truly depressed. I'm sorry if you feel differently, but depression is too lightly used as an excuse for laziness or just simple sadness. I couldn't get out of bed for 3 weeks, that's different than being bullied and wanting to stop talking to people and bottle things up! IT'S SO FUCKING DIFFERENT!
but i agree with you. they don't have depression. they were simply unhappy with their surroundings and were being melodramatic. meghan needs attention. i think she has some type of mental disorder though like her eating and her self esteem and her need to always have attention on herself. allie just thinks too highly of herself.
