In case anyone was wondering, I was taken to a mental hospital to deal with my depression, suicidal ideation, and social anxiety after my teacher freaked when I told her I was having suicidal thoughts. After 10 days of being away from the laptop and for good behavior, I was finally discharged. I'll be regularly be visiting SeN as usual, so behave nicely in the Campaigns & Team Projects forum or else. [right][snapback]598081[/snapback][/right]
Ignorance is bliss. Horrible cliche but it does mean a lot in terms of depression.
Great to see thats how society deals with these disorders, ... like kids. Be a good boy and we'll let you out your box. What the freak does that solve? If you really got what you say you have (take if from me .. depression, suicide and anxiety is something I deal with daily) .. Then good behavior isn't going to change crap and I'm sure you know this.
My depression is caused by the way I see a large portion of the people i meet as self-centered materialistic biitches, ready to stab anyone in the back to get ahead. Another large portion of the people I come across in the past (parents included) are crackhead religious zealots who spew their bullcrap endlessly since they've been indoctrinated with it since they were children. Of these people, 98% only purpose in life is follow some meaningless bullcrap,.. let it be god (afterlife).. accumulation of wealth.., their next high.. this gives meaning to all their crapty lives but it really means nothing at all.
The only thing that makes me want to keep on going is the small fraction of people on this Earth which actually try to think independently. Knowledge and innovation are the only things that actually mean anything to me.
Until I change the way I view the world I am never going to feel any better about this .. Well thats not entirely true.. I feel better by creating new things and learning about stuff I am interested in. Problem is that can't get you by in this world, you need to use what you know to survive in a world filled with the rest of these morons.
Filter out as best you can all the bullcrap you see because it's not going to help your mental wellbeing.. I know that is easier said than done.
But chances are you don't even think like me and your depression is caused by many other reasons...
Anyways main point of this post was to state that.. yes the world is freaked and if you can't filter out all the horrible crap in this world than your going to be depressed. Unfortunately filtering it out means being ignorant or turning a blind eye, and usually thats a hard thing to do for our kind.
edit:.. the way SEN has their sensors on is fuucking gay, if your fragile virgin ears can't handle some simple curse words .. cover them up and get off the internet. Yes they often degrade conversation but they can also be beneficial for communicating emotions rather than using god damn annoying emicons.
