Depressio
joulukuu 19th, 2018
Memorial for the people who’ve committed suicide, sometime during my childhood years:
Parent: ”Suicide is the most selfish thing.”Me, at adult age: ”And that’s what I believed, too, until I got sick. Depression is one hell of a mental illness.”
Me: ”Of course I can only talk about myself, but there are some things that help me.”
Routines
Balanced diet
ExerciseMe: ”And I have medication, of course.”
But sometimes, despite all of this, darkness fills the mind. My brains just do not produce enough pleasure and happiness hormones, or the effect is short.Me: ”And well… Depression is not a choice, silly tosh, or laziness.”
Me: ”The most distressing thing is when one does all the possible and it does not help.”
Me: ”All depressed people do not even have healthy coping mechanisms.
How does it feel to be a person, who feels no pleasure from ANYTHING?”Me: ”And with all added blaming to top it.”
[someone is being pointed with fingers labeled as ’negative’, ’selfish’ and ’attention whore’.Me: ”I don’t even know where I am going with this comic.”
Me: ”Umm, I guess my point was that we should treat ourselves and each other with compassion.
Other depressed people: search for those healthy coping mechanisms. One day the sadness will end.”
