Well, if you go to the doctor for the flu, your a pussy. Man up and get over it. As for depression being a biological disorder/disease, Yes, it is a problem with receptors in the brain. But, all medical conditions have causes, be it a birth defect, a problem with the brain, or a physical injury sustained later in life. It's all natural selection, and what annoys me about the human race is that people with any of those problems, instead of being left to fend for themselves(to the degree regular people do), they are coddled, being safetly guided through life, being allowed to reproduce, and making more people with those problems. And that's why we have fml.

Some of the greatest and most influential people in history were insane, depressed, or in some way what you would see as broken. If we as a society had just left them to die like the runt of a litter, our same society would be decades, if not centuries behind in many areas of art, literature, math and science. So before you start calling people useless for being emo and/or depressed, think about what they can contribute to society that would improve YOUR life, on top of dealing with their own pain.

Emo and/ or depressed people are useless to society. They have contributed poetry. Poetry sucks.

And I suppose you'll also come to the conclusion that works of art by da Vinci and Picasso are worthless because the creators weren't perfectly sane and normal? What about political geniuses like Ben Franklin who were probably bipolar to some degree? And I suppose the medicines and treatments developed by people like Paul Farmer who are slightly unstable are too good for you? Do a bit of reading, many of the advances we take for granted were made by the mentally ill.

Wow OP, your first day out and you're already bitching? Anyways, that sounds pretty cool, but I think a badass way to kill yourself is to tie piano wire around your neck and then to a bridge, jump off and it'll look like you ripped your head off. No one'll call you a pussy emo kid for that one.

Go to hell. The friends asked that as the first question. That doesn't mean they were bitching, it means that the friends were asking if the behavior was going to continue. I'm sure you've heard this before, but CORRELATION =/= CAUSATION.

Agreed. I wouldn't solve the problem with violence though, I would just BURNINATE everyone who makes fun of and belittles clinical depression and the people who have it. "Ewewewewew your nameeeee. If you can't even kill yourself right, then you have a good reason to try try again! If you have no regard for human life, especially your own, then you shouldn't be here. I'm sorry but I have no compassion for suicidal people. Call me a bitch, it's k I deserve it" I have clinical depression, and OP, good luck to you with fighting yours. Sometimes, I wish I could force everyone who mocks clinical depression to take depressant meds and make them feel what it is like to be depressed like that and not have a choice in the matter- when the chemicals in your brain are what's causing it, I doubt you'll be saying "Oh! Well Whoopity do, sir, then I'll just have to think pooooositive thoughts!" Because that JUST. DOESN'T. CUT IT. I also wish I could see what someone with the exact same problems as my brain wiring has would react with if they, all the sudden, had the same problems I do. It'd be interesting.

Well then I guess with all your brain problems and wanting to kill yourself that just equals that we're getting rid of the weak people in the world! And really, to the person above you. Kay, you're talking shit too by acting like you can kick anyones ass. I WOULD say this shit to your face, so **** off trying to act like a tough-ass.

Awww.. there you go assuming things again. Maybe you should read more closely, maybe. You are still making a ton of things up about me. It's sad that I assume things about OP.. but here you are making up a whole story about me to make yourself feel better. You think a bunch of insults that don't apply to me are going to hurt me? I mean, you're pulling out all the stops here to get some story right. Sorry to say that none of your facts are right other than I got pregnant at 17. Let's see here, since you can't read let me break it down a little. Abusive boyfriend = father. Fiance = non father. I don't see where a third man comes from, but hey, you haven't exactly shown that you have a brain so I understand that you just add people. No job? Wrong again. I do have a pretty decent one, thank you. Oh, and again, you can't FATHOM the idea that I actually am not on government support. Aw darn. Did I ruin your good fun? And of course, OF COURSE, I must have slept with a billion people since I got pregnant at 17. I mean, god, only a ***** would do that. Of COURSE I don't know the babies daddy. Oh wait.. yes I do know who their father is. Shit. You poor thing. Please, now, take these facts and make up some more things about me. I love that. So, I'm sorry, but you have failed yet again. .. Pretty epic-style this time since you've created a whole story about me. It's very nice, mind you. Well thought out, straight facts .. ****, that's right, no, no it wasn't.

Another quick note: Why are you so upset that my life is actually good and I'm happy? Because someone like me shouldn't, couldn't be happy? :)
