Is it the crushing loneliness? The constant self-doubt? The constant self-criticism? The lack/loss of hope? The inertia? The inability to achieve goals (or even have any goals). The realization that things will never get better?
Sure, everyone’s depression is a mix of things. But what do you think is the worst part of being chronically depressed for you? Just wondering what is the hardest part for other people.
Who here feels like they’re mentally/emotionally damaged for life?
Even if you know you’re just eating to fill the void inside. Though, the hunger pangs are real… Maybe the empty void turns into a physical manisfestation where you do feel a biological need/want to constantly eat?
What I don’t need is the extra weight tho…
“The most terrible poverty is loneliness and the feeling of being unloved”
-Mother Teresa
I came upon this article and it just explained so much. I never had a word for it. I thought I was alone in this growing up, but reading the comments below the article, it appears so so so many women and girls were abused by their mothers in this way too. I’m glad I’m not alone, and that the feelings that I feel are not abnormal, and actually, quite common among those who’ve had to grow up this way.
At the same time, how can so many mothers be so cruel to their own flesh and blood? Why even have children then? I […]

“Normal is getting dressed in clothes that you buy for work, driving through traffic in a car that you are still paying for, in order to get to a job that you need so you can pay for the clothes, car and the house that you leave empty all day in order to afford to live in it.”
-Ellen Goodman
For those interested, there’s a formal debate about this here:
http://www.intelligencesquaredus.org/debates/legalize-assisted-suicide
Obviously, most of us on here would agree it’s OUR choice. But sadly, legislation is always held captive by
1- money (hospitals stand to make TONS off of living chronically sick people, and the last 6mo of someone’s life accounts for the majority of a hospital’s revenue) and by
2- other people’s stupid religious belief’s shoved down our throats. Who cares what YOUR religion says? Why should YOUR beliefs dictate MY life?
3- And fuck your holier than thou attitude.
People who order a big mac, large fries, then a diet coke.
–>LOL that diet coke ain’t gonna help. You might as well just drink the regular coke.
What other silly / ironic things have you seen?
So another poster had posted a Bo Burnham song, which led me to click on other videos. Thought this was quite an interesting song. What do you think?

No, humans are the root of all evil.
-the American education system- fail
-the American healthcare system- fail
-the American mental care system- fail
-the American prison system- fail
-the American political system- fail
-the American tax system- fail
-the American mainstream media- fail
I mention the American system because well, that’s where I live.
There is no justice, no fairness, no meritocracy, no equality.
To the corrupted goes the spoils.
First piece of cake- sooooo delicious. Had a small size at lunch. Dreaming of that all day.
Dinner rolls along, I think to myself, I’d like to order more cake. I order a large size strawberry cake, as well as *another* dessert, a choco ball. …when you know you shouldn’t but you do it anyway…
-_-‘
WHY didn’t I just stop at the ONE? Or at TWO?? WHY did I get THREE???!!!?
I was actually one of the ones who did well academically, but the whole notion of the way the education system is set up here never sat well with me, even as I was getting my useless “A”s. I was literally in 2nd grade when I started questioning the educational system, because it never made sense to me.
If you look at the Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Albert Einsteins- all the geniuses who dropped out of school- they were all stifled by the rigidity of school and the rigidity of the mainstream establishment thought. Granted, 99% of us here aren’t geniuses like them, but if even […]
