  Uour depression is weak and stupid and pitiful. It will never do amything good and nobody will ever love it except as part of some misguided misunderstanding. It should just kill itself and let you get on with your fucking life.

  Unless you’re a fascist. Then reverse everything i just said; your depression is great.

      It sounds to me like you have a really enabling relationship with your depression. Like you over-identify with it.

    Everyone has different ways of coping but for myself hating my depression would be hating a part of myself and honestly selfhatred does not get you far. I wouldn’t say I love my depression either, its just neutral. It is a part of myself no matter how I feel about it and I find that just accepting it helps me to plan around it and work with it. Depression is part of who I am but not all I am, nomatter what.

    If your way of thinking has helped you with you own depression that’s great, but I hope you can see how calling other peoples conditions “weak, stupid and pitiful” is really mean? If you know the person well and this helps them, you could maybe say it but if you don’t, just don’t!

    And If you want to share your own experience, frame it that way. You could say that seeing depression as something separate from yourself that you have to overcome helped you. Just dont assume its the same for everyone

      Oh i don’t think like that on the rare occasion im taking something seriously; it’s just fun.

      It was a play on depression-thoughts, not knowing which flavor you had, suggesting it sucks in the language typically favored in depressive episodes generally.
