I don't think i am prone to depression or negativism though people have called me a optimistic pessismist (or was it the other way round?). The only time i have ever been clinically depressed was 2 years ago. I exhibited the usual symptoms (well, i ought to know since i studied it) but never to such an extend that i am not fully aware what i was doing (I was depressed not delusional). I could have killed myself but the fact is i did not and looking back, i don't think i would have ever done that to myself. I guess no matter how low i feel, i would never feel quite as low as what alot of other people go through. I am not saying that i know exactly how depressed people feel because i think everyone feel things differently and need help in different ways. But ultimately, i feel that people who are depressed (myself included) needs to be helped in whatever way in which they can be helped.
Society can be remarkably cruel in this day and age in the way it stereotype people who suffers from one mental incapacity (or do they think deficiency) or the other. I wish i could tell everyone to sod off because it was none of their business but then i would really be delusional if i think that would make a dent in their social facade. The only consolation which i tell myself and offer to others is that I, and many countless others, who are all part of the social fabric, don't give a damn if someone do seek professional help for whatever help they need and would never give them shit for doing so. The cons of that is of course, i am not any bigwig that can affect much change in general.
Hey... I think the sun is shining outside.
Shall we go out?
