I dunno, I haven't felt sadness for a long time (6 years more or less)

I put on dark clothing and cut myself.

and squash things like depression

Make disturbing artwork which can only be correctly interpreted by myself.
Or commit Self Delete

I like to think about why I'm depressed, and engage in social behaviour with Internet friends. Sometimes they help cheer me up, or reflect on it all. It's good to have people that listen, and good to listen to people.

depression is stupid

[xXBeibsFan119Xx]

depression is stupid

Yeah, no. Depression is a horrible condition, and it's just plain horrible that you dismiss it considering how many lives it ruins.

i intentionally left what i meant ambiguous

what i said could have also meant that depression sucks

but i also don't like dwelling on stuff so yeah

[viper30000]

I have never been depressed yet. Sad a bit sure but not depressed.
I learned being depressed does nothing and is stupid to ruin your life over one thing to I tell myself that nothing is such a bit deal you should be depressed over it

[blaman]

Yeah, no. Depression is a horrible condition, and it's just plain horrible that you dismiss it considering how many lives it ruins.

There's a difference between clinical depression, and being depressed and feeling like stuff because of stupid stuff.

I don't let myself get depressed. I used to, but then I decided to say forget that and enjoy life. Not even relationships that go south get me depressed, I just shrug stuff off and listen to EDM all day and ride my motorcycle or go out for some drinks with the guys. I actually tend to be happiest after something depressing happens to me, because I realize just how pitiful everything is and instantly move the forget on. I actually had someone comment on how absolutely nothing phases me a few days ago. Didn't know what to say at the time.

Yeah, no. It's not ambiguous. You also write that you could have said, not that you actually wrote that. You've clearly shown that you don't understand depression with this post:

I stop dwelling on stupid stuff that serves only to make one feel bad.

Anybody who actually believes this doesn't understand depression. I know this is borderline 'no true scotsman' fallacy, but the whole 'I'm stronger than depression' mindset is just handicapped.

yea I listen to music go walking or hunting and sometimes do really stupid stuff

i get into command of my decisions like a little fascist dictatorship inside my own head
and squash things like depression

"Imagine that your brain is made of tiny boxes
And find the box that's depressed and CRUSH IT!
Okay?"
