I Don't Think Depression Is Being Selfish

Everyone feels bad at some point in thier lives. Sometimes that sadness throws you into a dark abyss. I think it's completely normal for this to happen. I don't believe in anti-depressants, because I think that it's a normal process...

I'm in an ugly situation right now. One I wouldn't wish on anyone I care about. If the weather on my planet causes stormy wather on yours, just remember, I take your needs into consideration _WHENEVER_ _I_ _CAN_.

NO everyone can see this sounds desperate.How could anyone see depression as selfish???!!!

I don't think depression is being selfish - I think it's more an inability to see the good in life. I know when I'm depressed all the bad things seem more noticeable, but when I'm happy, I find it easier to see the...

Its not like we put this upon ourselves. Depression sucks! Badly! 
Also, I found that depression makes a lot of people care more. The depressed people here on EP are much better than the normal people in real life who are such...

It makes me mad that this group even needs to exist. IN WHAT WORLD IS DEPRESSION SELFISH?!?!?! IT'S NOT MYYY FAULT! How is it my fault that my life can suck? I'm not being selfish by being depressed. It's not my fault at all. How is it...

I'm on my third week of medical leave.

I can't shake this.

Don't wanna:
Get out of bed
Go to work
Eat
Be around other humans.

Just wanna:

Disappear

Is it selfish to not be able to get out of bed sometimes, when it feels like every fiber of who you are is burning in pain? Is it selfish to not want to help somebody, when you know you can't even help yourself? Is it selfish to not...

For some people it's the opposite. You hate to load other people up with how you feel. So you bottle up your emotions and then depression forms so some people start cutting as a coping mechanism. But it's not selfish.

I got over my depression a fairly long time ago, yet I still today find myself feeling annoyed when I hear someone say that depressed people are selfish. Having dealt with it myself at one point I am very well aware that you can not...

I don't understand how people could think suffering is selfish. No one wants to suffer through every day thinking they'll never be happy again. I've been depressed in the past. It was the absolutely hardest time in my life. I didn't...

My mind cannot stay focused long enough to let out any of the things that burden me in this life, to share my doubts, or my troubles. I can never write down the proper words in the right order, so that they reflect any of my sufferings...

...Being selfish or inconsiderate, it is someone suffering with a mental health issue that needs loving support, instead of negativity and ignorant judgment on their part. Shame on them for this, I say!

Far from it .You're usually trying to put up a front so people don't know how bad it really is.When it gets really bad,you're in bed incapable of doing anything and struggling with what to do in the hours of the day.It's eating away...

I never wanted to be like this. I wanted to be fine, normal - I had a decent life once, where I was achieving all A's and hanging out with friends every week. It just happened that in the beginning of 2005, I started thinking more often...

I had wrote in many of my stories i'm feeling depress. I know there some friends I use to have got sick of hearing me being depress. Maybe some think I'm faking it just for attention. I'm not going to lie to you I wish I had some type...
