      Your depression is weak and stupid and pitiful. It will never do amything good and nobody will ever love it except as part of some misguided misunderstanding related to the rest of you. It should just kill itself and let you get on with your fucking life.

      Unless you’re a fascist. Then reverse everything i just said; your depression is great.

        Everyone has different ways of coping but for myself hating my depression would be hating a part of myself and honestly selfhatred does not get you far. I wouldn’t say I love my depression either, its just neutral. It is a part of myself no matter how I feel about it and I find that just accepting it helps me to plan around it and work with it. Depression is part of who I am but not all I am, nomatter what.

        If your way of thinking has helped you with you own depression that’s great, but I hope you can see how calling other peoples conditions “weak, stupid and pitiful” is really mean? If you know the person well and this helps them, you could maybe say it but if you don’t, just don’t!

        And If you want to share your own experience, frame it that way. You could say that seeing depression as something separate from yourself that you have to overcome helped you. Just dont assume its the same for everyone

          Oh i don’t think like that on the rare occasion im taking something seriously; it’s just fun.

          It was a play on depression-thoughts, not knowing which flavor OP had, suggesting it sucks in the language typically favored in depressive episodes generally.

        ok well i dont want anyone that doesnt wanna accept and love my depression as its gonna be a part of me forever, i fear. and i will love theirs as well, bc i dont really attract mentally stable people (you dont seem to be one either)

              Then strangle it. Cherish its flailing screams and make a trophy of its mangled corpse!

              I know thats not how mental illness works but it’s more fun if I pretend.
