Screw these kinds of blogs · 7:32pm Dec 20th, 2015
Okay, it's time for a rant, because I am absolutely 100% done with this freaking nonsense. If I offend you in my coming message, I honestly don't care because you chose to get offended, I didn't make you.
If you are actually suffering from depression, then this rant is not about you. Depression is very serious, and it's something nobody should have to deal with. But the more I see users posting blogs that do nothing but self-hate, the more pissed I get. Most of the time, these authors act perfectly fine, but like clockwork, they posts these blogs in what feels like a cycle and block anyone that tries to call them out on the fact that they're being an attention whore.
Then today, one of them had the gall to actually say "you don't know what I've been through" to someone I know. Not only is this presumptuous as hell, but it's downright disrespectful. I haven't blogged about any of my problems before, but that's changing.
In middle school, I was bullied every single day, both physically and mentally. I had my head cracked open when another kid slammed it into a locker. I was told by my world history teacher that I would never amount to anything. It was so bad that I actually failed 7th grade because of it. Then came 8th grade, when my parents got into a bad motorcycle wreck. My mother's pelvis was completely crushed, and my dad actually died in front of me. He was revived, and is still with us today, but that moment will live in my mind forever. It's the moment that gave me the inspiration to write Patience. And what did the kids at school do? They used it as fuel to make fun of me even more.
But you know what? That's all in the past, and I try my best not to let any of it bother me, because that could lead me down the road to depression. I have great friends now, and they've helped me make my life a lot better.
All I want to say is that next time you feel down, don't say something like "you don't know what I've been through". I was, of course, blocked by the person who said this, but he shall remain nameless in this blog.
But if you know anyone who's actually depressed, let the know that you're there for them. Even one small message showing that you care can go a long way.
I know the feel man. My dad is dead and I have schizophrenia that's getting worse as I get older. But you know what? Who gives a fuck?
I've got a well-paying job, I've got a good family, awesome friends and I've gotten a decent amount of pussy in my time. Not a bad life so far.
It's all about perspective. if you focus on the bad, you'll feel like crap. If you focus on the good, your life will go places. You can't sit around and expect life to come to you. You gotta get out, make life happen. Make it something good!
... Where do I come up with this shit?
Stop being an attention whore.
Seriously, though, thanks for this blog. I agree with you.
Most of the people doing that, I'd imagine, are pre-teens/teens.

(i didn't actually read the blog. Just the part where I got to choose if I was offended. You can clearly see my choice.)
(I just read the blog. That was inspiring. Thank you for sharing that with us. I feel like I know more about you now.)

I have a few friends, and even a sister, that have to deal with depression on a daily basis, so it's a very touchy subject for me. People who fake depression for attention are just as bad as those that pretend to have cancer, have been raped, etc.
The key to happiness isn't acceptance from others. The key is to keep moving forward in life. As the great Rod Serling once wrote for The Twilight Zone, "And perhaps across his mind there'll flit a little errant wish, that a man might not have to become old, never outgrow the parks and the merry-go-rounds of his youth. And he'll smile then too because he'll know it is just an errant wish, some wisp of memory not too important really, some laughing ghosts that cross a man's mind".
