VPN time

Today, I got excited because I found a chat line for teens who are dealing with depression. I signed up and was about to enter the chat room when a message popped up that said, ''Sorry this is only available for teens in the United Kingdom.'' FML

Same thing different taste

Today, I decided to try an online therapy site, seeing as I have been feeling very lonely and don’t have any friends to talk to about my issues. After filling out all the initial forms, the site told me there was no one available to speak to me. FML

Talk to me

Today, I called the suicide hotline, only to get lectured by a very condescending man. I hung up and called back, only for the other line to pick up and hang up on me immediately. FML

Today, a girl I've liked for several years gave me her number. Finally, I worked up the courage to call her. It was a suicide help line. FML

Today, I signed up for an online dating site. In order to prove I was human and complete my registration, I had to pass a CAPTCHA. Coincidentally enough, the words in it were "depressed" and "loser". FML

Bureaucracy

By CaptainStars - 29/06/2020 20:01

Today, I ran out of my antidepressants, and I cannot get more because my local hospital is closed, and I can't register online because the only way it will let me sign up is over the phone, due to me living in a rural area. I'm mute. FML

Today, feeling so depressed to the point of having suicidal thoughts, I texted a girl I had a crush on. Her response? "Can you please delete my number, you're getting annoying." FML

your stupid assumptions. Sorry I had too. Anyways I wanna ask something here... Doesn't it kind of make the whole thing a sham when you can be happy amidst being "depressed?" If a depressed person can be happy at some point or laugh, aka show signs of not being depressed, is it really fair to call it a disease over just not being happy 24/7? Does depression even if exist in that case? I'm not saying I agree with that notion, but I think it's a decent question. A parallel question would be if someone who is having a headache doesn't feel any head pain for say 10 seconds out of a minute, are the other 50 seconds him having a headache or is he just in the state of not feeling 0 head pain?

Decent question, really easy to answer. Suffering from depression doesn't mean you're always down and sad. It just means your lows are lower than they're supposed to be. Your emotions are screwed up and your reactions to events are extremely unreasonable. When something minor happens, depressed people feel as though it was the end of the world.
