  And that’s the difference between minor depressive disorder and major depressive disorder. Thank you for attending Depression 101.

    Lol I thought I was over my depression…but I guess I’ve been depressed my whole adult life.

      I am sorry for being the bearer of sad news. Suicidal thoughts are the most easily recognizable of the symptoms. And even if they are less persistent between major depressive episodes, a lot of us are still stuck with depression in one form or another for the rest of our lives.

      That’s just the sane amount of depression

      You can “get over” depression? Please tell me how. I can’t find a single prescription pill nor therapist that helps, so I just vape live resin and shove Kratom powder down my throat to get through the day.

    I guess that explains why I’ve never had any suicidal thoughts despite some severe depressive episodes !

    I did wish I never had to be born in such a cruel world, but I don’t think that qualifies. I still wanted to be alive, but in an alternate dimension where people care about one another.

      I think I experienced similar feelings which usually appear when I was comparatively “better” and those times did count as major depressive episodes, according to the professionals I dealt with.

      But honestly the way our psyche deals with depression is highly individual and good, responsible therapists/psychiatrists/neurologists/… consider a variety of symptoms before making a final diagnosis. With the exception of a high risk of suicide which will immediately place the sufferer in the “major depressive disorder” category, because of the immediate danger to their lives.

      What I want to say: Probably only an expert will be able to tell you exactly what kind of depression you have/had. And I cannot claim to be one. I am simply someone who suffers from it too and I read up about it.

  This is just outdated info right. Basically everyone I know my age has suicidal thoughts regularly enough for there to ba a normal amount.

  Is it not normal to think about what I would do if I was diagnosed with rapidly-developing irreversible dementia, or if there was some horrifyingly painful apocalypse approaching, or if literally everyone I care about in the world all died and I was left all alone?

  Just answered this question during a checkup a few weeks ago and kind of chuckled while saying no. This didn’t seem to raise any flags so it must be a common reaction.

    I had a similar response when I was asked last year during a checkup “how’s your mental health”.

    My response was just to laugh for a bit and then to say “fine”.

    Yeah, but were you chuckling while deep throating a pistol?

  Since my mom died, my thoughts are 5% sex, 5% video games and 90% about slitting my wrists because I don’t have a gun or pills.
