Today, I returned from a month-long stay in a psych ward for severe depression and suicide attempts. The first words my friends say to me when I call them and let them know I'm out? "Does this mean you're not gonna be so emo? 'cause that was really annoying." FML

You mean "ex-friends", right? Tell them it's their fault you were in there. Bastards.

I am so sorry and I hope that now you are ok and on the road back to recovery. It annoys the hell out of me that when anybody shows any kind of emoiton they are considered emo, it's as if showing any sign of sadness, depression or any other emotion like that is wrong, its not it is an emotion and if not shown it can lead to dangerous circumstances and situations The next person who say "OMG I was so emo I cried today" I am going to SCREAM !!!

I'd rather give unwarranted attention to a "whiny emo bitch" that deserves nothing, than risk alienating and further depressing an actually legitimate depressed person.

You can't "get over" clinical depression. It might be she's had a perfectly normal life, but it's genetic, and something really small triggered it. If you've never experienced depression, please don't act like you know what you're talking about. It's really hard to "get over" feeling self-hatred and wanting to end your life. You don't just think "Oh, my life is actually pretty okay," and go skipping along with a smile on your face. It can take years of therapy and medication to help.

Divineinstrument, Saying that this could only classify as clinical depression is an inaccurate insight. If you were looking at it from the point of view that it may have just been for the attention, then it could easily be a severe case of Munchausen's syndrome. Either way they need medical help but the treatment is different for each condition.

Well, you're posting an FML about it, so the answer to your friends' question would be no. You're still going to be an annoying emo.

If your suicidal, kill yourself already. It's not like it's hard to do so. As for depression being a disorder/genetic problem...Don't have kids. The only reason the world is full of people with disorders is because they're coddled. Let them die, they wont have kids who have more problems. Problem solved.

Sadly, depression is one of those things that's morbidly over diagnosed (why suggest personal therapy or exercise when popping prescriptions is so much easier?). Yes, it IS annoying to friends, because they probably have a dozen other friends "suffering" from depression.

You really need to go to hell. Unless you have been diagnosed with severe clinical depression and can manipulate your own neurochemistry through sheer willpower, you have no right to comment- depression isn't something that you can control through exercise. That is a temporary neurochemisty change, yes, but it's only slight to the chemical imbalances caused by severe clinical depression, and would not last very long. Oh, and many people that are diagnosed DO go to personal therapy, also. That doesn't make it any easier, and keeping the chemical imbalance there WILL NOT help the base problem- that you have a problem with the receptors in your brain, and that, in order to feel even remotely like most people do normally, you need to have the balance corrected.

For all you ignorant, insensitive, "YDI, harden the **** up" assholes, go **** yourselves. It's not like you know about anything she may have been through that put her in a depressive state, so you have absolutely no right to judge. Yes, I agree people who act all emo are extremely annoying attention-seekers most of the time. But if she was in a psych ward with serious clinical depression then she's obviously really sensitive to those kinds of comments. Good friends wouldn't say something like that, so that really sucks, OP. I hope they apologized, and if not, take it as a sign that you need new friends.

The fact that over 9000 people (wow, this is the first time I've said that without attempting a meme) have voted YDI on this makes ME feel depressed. Get new friends.
