RE: How To Be Depressed: In Ten Steps

in #psychology7 years ago (edited)

Some of these I totally agree with. Some I definitely don't.

Particularly #5. The "global animal holocaust"?!? LMFAO Let's ignore the fact that we've been eating meat longer than we've been able to be sarcastic...
Are predatory animals also in on this "holocaust"? Don't they also kill animals and eat them?

Then #6 seems to sound like you're saying depressed people shouldn't have nice jobs... maybe I'm hearing that wrong. But #7 kinda sounds the same way about children, though that one is a little more descriptive of how one would raise a child while dealing with depression.

You also kinda imply that if someone is depressed, there's a good chance they were sexually assaulted as a child. That's a little much, and you site absolutely no references for any of the statements you make in this post.

I've dealt with depression for over 20 years. I know exactly where it stems from, remember it vividly, and just about every day, yet my depression is no better than it was when I was a teenager.

I've never been a drinker, but I certainly know first hand how psychedelic can have a positive effect on one's outlook.

I realize you wrote this in such a manner as to try and be funny or sarcastic, but all in all, I find it pretty distasteful. To someone who actually suffers from this misunderstood condition, you've swung wide and missed your mark with ideas like being a vegetarian will help your depression...
