He'd probably be 'luckier' if he hadn't of had those issues in the first place, but I guess I get where you're coming from.

And you are luckier than a lot of people for not having abusive parents. Or having two parents in the first place seeing as a lot of people lose a parent while young. ETCETCETC. Using the whole "BAAAWWW, i have it worse :(" only has weight if you're willing to accept that people think the same thing about you with the added bonus that you sound like a self-centered douche.

tl;dr: The world doesn't involve around you and people can have gone through a difficult time even with having had things you envy.

Re: JFC

IAWTC!

Re: JFC

[runonmoonlight.livejournal.com]

Just because some people are lucky in comparison to other people does not mean that nothing bad ever happened in their life, or that they don't have a right to feel badly about it. They didn't say they had it the worst ever, they said they felt envy when they found out someone went through the same problems as well and had a better outcome, how is that surprising or wrong? They made it a secret, one would assume that they're not going around BAWWW'ing over it as your said.

tl;dr: Try getting over yourself.

My comment. Did you read it? Cause that's what it said, in a nutshell. OP is being hypocritical in wanting the "right" to feel bad about her issues while undermining someone elses.

They didn't say they had it the worst ever, they said they felt envy when they found out someone went through the same problems as well and had a better outcome

Except she didn't just say she envied him. She said he was "really lucky" without knowing the extent of his mental illness and his history just because objectively she felt she had it worse. Though for all we know he was much sicker than her and that's the reason why his parents accepted it as real; they had no choice because it was so severe. In that case can you really argue one is better than the other? Not too mention that he had OCD, not only depression so their situations aren't all that similar in the first place.

tl;dr: OP is so obsessed with her own issues that she can't accept that someone who had something she didn't could also be unlucky in having a early onset mental illness. That's self-centered bullshit.

Everyone fights their own battles. :c There's no use comparing them one way or another, and that goes for both OP and your first statement. It just breeds judgmental attitudes all around.

I'm not picking on you here; I just have a lot of compassion for others, I suppose.

[zenity.livejournal.com]

Wait, what happened to Jesse Eisenberg in his childhood?

[silver-coins.livejournal.com]

I don't think anything happened, per se. As far as I know he has struggled with mental illness most of his life. Especially OCD and depression. I think he's on anti-depressants as well, and has been pretty open about it.

[(Anonymous)]

When I was young, My mother was dead and my father beated the shit out of me. So yeah, you was really lucky, IMO.

Get over yourself.

[(Anonymous)]

When I was young, my mother was dead, my father was dead, and my grandmother thought that repeatedly raping me with broomhandles would keep the devil from possessing me. So yeah, you were really lucky, IMO.

Get over yourself.

[subarashiine.livejournal.com]

When I was young...

no seriously, both of you need to STFU.

[(Anonymous)]

When I was young my parents were killed by an evil overlord and I was sent on a lengthy quest to retrieve three legendary artifacts that would give me the power to bring harmony back to the kingdom.

All of you are lucky.

[runonmoonlight.livejournal.com]

Holy crap I cannot believe a few of these comments. No it's not the worst thing to ever happen in the entire world, but that doesn't mean you don't have a right to feel badly about it.

Anon, that does suck. I get where you're coming from in that you're frustrated that your parents thought you could just 'snap' out of your depression. My parents tried to help me, but kind of just gave up when I resisted a bit. I think sometimes they are in denial and not realizing what kind of problem it really is.

[(Anonymous)]

Understandable. No one likes putting in the effort to help someone who doesn't even act like they want any help.

[runonmoonlight.livejournal.com]

Yeah, my 15 year old depressed, deeply embarrassed self was just a complete cunt who didn't deserve help :D

[angathol.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry that someone pooped in your Cheerios this morning, anon.

I think it's difficult for older generations to handle this new influx of information and diagnoses when they haven't experienced it themselves, or there was no real history of it in their families. There wasn't enough education, let alone knowledge, of these things until recent decades, as far as I can tell. Same can go for certain physical or neurological illnesses or disorders.

I have a friend whose parents are in complete denial over her epilepsy, general anxiety disorder and bipolar disorder, all of which have been diagnosed by professionals. They think she's faking it and try to get her to stop taking her medications because she's a dependent and has no drug coverage of her own. They think it's something she can just "get over," particularly because her mom had epilepsy as a child and eventually stopped having symptoms or episodes, so she's stuck with this idea that it can't be permanent.

I wish there was more I could do to get her out of there.

[time-ambassador.livejournal.com]

They're trying to make their daughter stop taking life-saving epilepsy meds? From your wording, I take it the daughter is no longer a child, but if she were...that would totally be child abuse in my opinion. How awful. ): You'd think the mom, with her memories of epilepsy, would be more sympathetic!

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah I agree. I can relate a lot. My parents cared, but really didn't know what the hell they were doing. Sometimes it can be worse when right becomes wrong and wrong becomes right. It's not something many people can sympathize with, but I get you OP.

[childings.livejournal.com]

Yeah well even as recent as the 90s mental illness was basically undiagnosed in children, so I'm sure there are lots and lots of people in your position (I could spill all of my childhood horror stories but I really don't want to)

I'm not sure what the point of this secret is. If you're trying to say that you don't get people feeling sorry for Jesse Eisenberg then yeah I agree, it's hard to feel sorry for someone who is already getting the help they need when so many other children and adults out there with mental illness are ignored every single day

[(Anonymous)]

I was just happy to see Jesse Eisenberg in a secret. :/ I <3 him.

Anyway, there are similarities between what he goes through, and what I go through. I have OCD and have dealt with depression. Instead of seeing him as "lucky", I just thank him for talking publicly about it. I'm really uncomfortable admitting any of my problems to my friends, but the fact that he can share it with the world makes me feel a little better about myself. Like, he can be an actor despite all that, so it makes me feel a little better of what I'll be able to accomplish.

Just my two cents.

Re: ...

[angathol.livejournal.com]

Good post, anon.

I think it's great that public figures, no matter how famous, are opening up about depression and other mental health issues. It makes it easier for ordinary people to share with their friends and family without fearing judgment.
