When I hear people talk about depression one of the constant factors is how other's feel about them. I'm blessed to be able to live my life truly not giving one single fuck about what people may think of me. Grandma taught me if you don't love yourself no one else will. Everything starts with you. If you don't feel good about yourself it will be damn near impossible to feel good about others or anything else in life. Self love is very vital in being healthy mentally.

Yeah it’s a chemical Imbalance not some this is how I feel today. It’s not controllable based off any reason.Real depression is a clinical condition and isn’t about feeling good about yourself.

Thanks. My mother suffers from depression and at 71 she can tell you exactly Word for word the mean things the kids in the 6th grade said to her. See, my mother got straight A's in school. I'm not even exaggerating she never knew what a C looked like and if she got a B she did extra to push it to an A. A real genius. I had to explain to my mother that those other kids probably were getting their asses beat at home for their bad grades and were jealous of you getting good grades. They didn't know how to ask you for help with stuff. Instead they made fun of you and bullied you to make themselves feel good about themselves and their situation. All the wile they wish they were you. My mother told me in all the years going to therapists they never broke it down to her like that. My mother held onto that 6 grade stuff and always worried about what others said or what she thought felt about her. It eventually snowballed into a chemical imbalance in her brain. Which lead to weight gain, no self confidence, not able to concentrate playing the piano and not being able to make friends of finish being a pediatrician at N.Y. University. It's really sad because my mother is one of the nicest people on the planet. But I learned from what she went through. I wish I would give two fucks about what anyone thinks about me. I wish da fuck I would.Beautifully Stated, Fam

This is true but you need to be shown love before you even know how to love yourselfWhen I hear people talk about depression one of the constant factors is how other's feel about them. I'm blessed to be able to live my life truly not giving one single fuck about what people may think of me. Grandma taught me if you don't love yourself no one else will. Everything starts with you.

And that’s when u realized u like Lil boy toy ping pong shape pie face looking bitchesI learned from studying your mom
This is true. You can win the lottery or get promoted at work or find a new "dream" job and still be depressed if your social situation is still the same. Clinical depression is triggered by external factors. They do have an effect on your chemical imbalance. A person can get rid of their depression if their social situation changes. For most people, especially black people, it never does.Real depression is a clinical condition and isn’t about feeling good about yourself.
That’s when you lostAnd that’s when u realized u like Lil boy toy ping pong shape pie face looking bitches
I guaranfuckingtee your wife and her mom mom looks like rocky dennis
How wide is your wife faceThat’s when you lost
Our problem now is that we are trying to live by the white man's standard (money and greed are the answer to everything) as opposed to the way we used to live (not giving a fuck about their standard and creating our own standard of happiness).When I hear people talk about depression one of the constant factors is how other's feel about them. I'm blessed to be able to live my life truly not giving one single fuck about what people may think of me. Grandma taught me if you don't love yourself no one else will. Everything starts with you.

I agree with all of thisInteresting, I find alot of bullies try to break someone psychologically before they realize how great they are, and often it is rooted in jealousy of some sort. Misery really does love company.
I think alot of depression is caused by people thinking they have less value because other people dont approve of them for whatever reason (appearance, intelligence, status, etc.)
Also, it seems like "people pleasers" suffer the most, because they define happiness from the validation of others, which is unhealthy.
One of the hardest things to do in life is to seek validation from within and not give a fuck about what other people think, which can be scary for family and friends in some situations.
Sometimes the result of seeking self-validation is ending long term friendships, marriages, and even permanently cutting off family members. However, if all of that is the cost of your happiness, then so be it.
On that note, Love yourself and always treat yourself when you accomplish something, even if its the smallest amount of progress![]()

Our system is a honey trap of dept that reels you in with promises of happiness by offering material goods, that soon turn to junk in a few years with you holding the bill. This is the essence of where all the anxiety and depression come from.I wasn't depressed but I had severe anxiety last summer, I would not wish that shit on my worst enemy.. Therapy and meds helped. Luckily my job has the insurance to cover mental health.
That’s where it starts, King.When I hear people talk about depression one of the constant factors is how other's feel about them.

Back in the day folks didn't get into thousands of dollars in debt, true they had less, but one thing they did have was peace of mind and a sense of security. Today most of us are living paycheck to paycheck, robbing Peat to pay Paul, and unless you are making close to 6 figures and a stable family, your existence is like that of a juggler, as soon as one bill is paid here comes the next one!
But hey we've brought into the system, and depression and anxiety are just a byproductsd of it.
