Depression.

[mo4form]

I'M SICK OF DEPRESSED PEOPLE BEING CATEGORIZED AS EMOS. Do you worthless worms even know what depression means?

[Master117chief]

I iz depressed, and i even cut myself today with my swiss knife!

[TheSporkLord]

I agree, i was horribly depressed a while back ( im getting over it now ) and everyone always labeled me as emo, and i fucking hated it.

[spartan100]

this makes some sense people who are medically diagnosed with Depression shouldnt be labled as emos.

[Diddy]

You only get classed as an emo if you dress like a douche and act sad

And because you hated it, it motivated you to stop being depressed. You see, no harm done.

[Luke-Bassett]

I went through a bad depression awhile back I didn't feel confident at that time which pushed people away from me often.
depression is not a good thing to go through (but im over it ish)

I'd punch a baby in the dick to prove you wrong. Medication and therapy probably helped him, I was depressed for two years - I should know.

Being depressed does not mean you have to wear shitty clothes and listen shitty music. The latter is just craving for attention.

Real depression may include things like; barely any appetite, barely ( be able to ) do a thing, severe stress ( and all the side-effects of it ), panic attacks, subdued behaviour, emotional outbursts, and on. Definitely not something that should be taken lightly.

actually no. i didnt want to just feel sad the minute i stopped taking pills, i did see a therapist though.

I often wonder how many people who actually say they have depression, have it in reality.

Depression is a serious condition, and for a start, someone who was depressed wouldn't just come out and say it ffs.

[Lorkas]

Dunno...

well then, I guess that's me, but I don't consider myself depressed, I consider myself paranoid and insecure with bouts of depression. I haven't eaten breakfast or lunch in quite a while, and I consider myself to be like Alexander from Where The Wild Things Are... sorry for the reference but that was the best movie I've seen in such a long time.

I never thought of depression as being emo, I just always imagined emos as sort of wanna be depressed people, who think that since daddy didn't buy them something then life sucks and they want to kill themselves. So basically I always thought of emos as attention whores.

[CapnCrunchDaPimp]

Depression is a disease of the brain of constant sadness, apathy, and a general feeling of worthlessness that keeps you in bed, cuts joy out of your life, and barely lets you do anything constructive. Emo is just a pussy made up punk/goth ripoff style that kids impersonate to get attention because they never get any from their parents.

[gamekillereater]

It has a reason. Everyone is calling themselves depressed, whilst not been diagnosed or have a history of feeling bad all the time. These people are just attentionwhores which are hated by the general public, therefore they're being taunted with emo and other words.

TL:DR, 90% of the time someone says he/she's depressed, he/she is just attentionwhoring, therefore being taunted.

[Falonefal]

Why the FUCK do you care?
I mean, of course it gets labeled as "emo"
Because depressed people go and bloat all around about their depression on the internets, we don't FUCKING need to know about it, go talk about it with your best friend!
No get off the fucking internet with your depression Emo!

[Chymeraxe]

Get over yourself, then you'll be over your depression.

[mo4form]

actually no. i didnt want to just feel sad the minute i stopped taking pills, i did see a therapist though.

My point exactly. People don't just "get over it".

Yeah, people do, but calling them "worthless worms" is pretty funny.

This generation consists of attention whores and they've all had a migration to NG

Depression is temporary, you emo faggot. Man up, a real person would do.

[Frank-The-Hedgehog]

I cut myself at times in the lust and craving of feeling SOMETHING, I can be called depressed, I wear black clothes at times (only because), and my hair looks a bit emo-ish, due to it's natural blackness.

But I'm not emo.

Very very true.

My major depression is extremely debilitating and even though I try to do what I can to manage it (without meds, which are expensive and have unpleasant side effects), there really is only so much I can do. It affects me in just about every way--my voice, my academic performance, my ability to concentrate, my energy levels (most of the time, it's really low), my mood, my demeanor...you get the general idea, I hope.

This.
Oh jesus, I'm depressed. HERE COMES THE STEAK KNIFE.

[kikomannnn]

Emo...i forgot what that term was, to be honest. I don't associate myself with the culture, music, or anything related to that term, so it's really not a problem for me.

You should do the same.
