uh hi

Depression is an illness. Yes some people say they have it when they don't, yes some people use medication when they don't need it, but please do not suggest it isn't a legitimate illness because it definitely is.

[(Anonymous)]

Not saying it's not an illness? But being sad about bad things happening to you is pretty much in the healthy range, no matter what a medical website says.

[diet_poison]

Ok...but sad events can trigger depression. Like, they can start it and then you never feel better, don't get over it, etc. or react to it way worse than you should. Sometimes it's hard to tell if it's actually depression I guess if something shitty is happening at the same time.

My depression started out of the blue. Like, my life was actually pretty great at the time.

[(Anonymous)]

I totally agree with that! I just felt that since OP used "recently", it is a bit forced to call it depression already? I think that a lot of people using this word for a totally normal feeling kind of trivializes real depression, so it should be used a bit more cautiously.

[(Anonymous)]

On the other hand, many depression sufferers fail to get help because they don't realise that depression doesn't always mean 'can't even get up out of bed' and downplay their own symptoms, or feel like they're exaggerating. It's a complicated illness.

[fuchsiascreams]

I think this is a really important point. While there is a lot of attention paid to the fact that many people are diagnosed with a mood disorder they don't have, there are also a lot of people who don't even realize that they have depression because they think of it as being constantly suicidally depressed to the point where they can't/don't want to get out of bed. But for a lot of people, depression isn't so much the presence of depression as the absence of an ability to experience happiness (anhedonia). i.e. I get severe depressive episodes, but they're relatively uncommon (maybe once or twice a year, not triggered by anything, just out of the blue) - but the rest of the time, I'm not sad, per se - I just have a complete absence of ability to feel happiness or pleasure, and a lack of energy and motivation to do even the most basic things. I often describe it as only being able to experience negative emotions (for example, being extremely upset by one of my pets dying, but not being able to get happy or excited by a party coming up, or going out with friends, or getting a new pet, or going on vacation).

[diet_poison]

Yeah, I'm glad you pointed out that depression can be trivialized because that is very true and it's important to point out.

I guess my thinking was kind of like the anon above me - it's possible to not realize you have depression, think "oh it will go away" and then it never does...better safe than sorry.
