2017-06-16 at 8:33 PM UTC in In all seriousness though...
Originally posted by mmQ It's interesting because both sides are correct, in a way. If there isn't a viewpoint such as Falco is taking, then it does very much enable the depressee to remain depressed, getting affirmation from others that what they are experiencing is in fact impossible or extremely difficult to get out of, and thus making the choice to remain in the rut that much easier.
On the other hand, it's also frustrating from a depressed standpoint to hear the VERY TYPICAL, 'I know you're better than this, just SNAP OUT OF IT,' outlook. That's where, Falco, despite what seems obvious as your best intentions here, shit gets fuzzy, because the longer a person is unable to snap out of it (and that part has to do with the actual illness, the EXTREME difficulty), it makes a person feel even MORE worthless (why can't I snap out of it like Falco says?? I know I'm smart! Why can't I fucking do it?} and as it continues to not happen, it reinforces itself. It is very much a double edged sword.
I have always thought of treating depression like having to walk to the hospital with two broken legs. Once you get to the hospital it will get better, but you're goddamn legs are broken, and you HAVE TO WALK.
It's all very fucky, and that's all I have to say for now. :)
Listen I understand this. I get it. The problem is squarely with the fact that there is no utility in hugging on someone who has trapped themselves in depression. It just enables their shitty decision making. It's way more useful in every single way to make them aware that you're saying it from a place of love, but the way they're acting is no good. It's understandable, but it's wrong. The more people fees into the victim mentality, the less impetus they have to take command.
I am giving concrete options here; one of the most important aspects of beating depression is the feeling of command over your own life. There are lots of ways to do this. And one way you can help give the feeling of control to someone who is depressed, is to give them options.
In that video I linked, the biggest point IMO is creating specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and time-bound goals. The best way to help someone out of their rut is to give them achievable options that are within their grasp, and they are fully capable of beginning to achieve.
Ultimately, nobody can give you the magical pill of action, you're going to have to take action yourself. What I'm trying to do is lower the barrier to entry for HTS; part of what makes depression so crushing is that your lack of agency feels monolithic, you feel helpless because getting friends or whatever seems like a big, scary thing that you can't do because the end goal is so far away. I want to bring that down and give him the first steps he can take.
That's the best I can do, and it's the best anyone can do, and it's certainly way better than enabling their illness. -

I just want you to know that the option is there. Dont ever feel alone, because you know that you have someone to talk to, but you are simply making the decision not to. Doesn't sound lonely in my books :)The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

It's funny NOW since I'm no longer a poorfag. Man I really couldve used some real cash then, I was so excited the day it arrived, and you'll love this, it weighed too much and you didn't pay enough in postage so I had to pay the mail lady like 1.25 or something to even get it.
IMAGINE MY DISAPPOINTMENT. SO SAD!!
You know what's interesting the two people who have sent me money or trucks are HTS and Actro, two users generally notorious for not having very much money. INTERESTING! -

2017-05-04 at 10:06 PM UTC in Just got out of the ERThanks for sharing Zanick. On Zoklet I always had the image of you as well off guy, if somewhat elitist, who was on a track to a good life in the medical field. I'm not sure if I missed some of your posts while I was there because I mostly posted in The Retarded Thread, a fair amount of people spent most of their time there, but after reading this and some other posts you've made it's obvious you've suffered immensely.
You should look into Nardil, it's the #1 medication I want to get back on. Fucking last bitch took me off such a powerful drug cold turkey. The long half life rapidly diminishes in a few days, she called it a "tapering effect". I swear, unless I can intimidate and dominate them or seduce/charm/manipulate them I'd prefer to never meet with another female psychiatrist again. Had brain zaps and it was after that that I began developing agoraphobia and anthropophobia to such an extreme extent.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -
