Re: Not OP
(Anonymous) 2013-04-17 02:42 pm (UTC)(link)and that's key.
just because someone is 'depressed' doesn't mean they're suffering from clinical depression.
a lot of depression can totally suck but it's not the same crushing depression.
some people really do need to just pull their head out of their ass and it's because of assholes like you that want to keep enabling them by excusing them and saying 'OMG THEIR DEPRESSION IS SOOOOO SEVERE'.
you don't know that any better than the op might know but the op is THERE with this person and they can actually SEE some of the behaviors.
honestly, some people really do love the notoriety that 'being depressed' gives them and will wield it like a finely crafted cudgel to beat anyone down around them that finally gets enough of their self-created drama to say 'suck it up and soldier on, jerk'.
Re: Not OP
(Anonymous) 2013-04-17 04:28 pm (UTC)(link)I'm not saying OP necessarily needs to coddle their friend - I'm saying that there are ways not to coddle people that don't involve being a dick. "I made it so I get to judge everyone else now" isn't one of them.
