Being 'depressed' or 'anxious' or 'suicidal' is not trendy, cool, a personality or even interesting.

Seeing you say there are websites/subs devoted to helping people fake disablities is disheartening to say the least.

The "depression" that irks me is the ones who live in filth, do nothing but play video games, eat junk food endlessly and then go "I don't understand why I'm depressed". Well, you've created about the unhealthiest environment, you do not one thing for yourself, and you don't understand it?

Or those who think a "magic pill" is going to fix everything, so they rush to the doc, who after a 2.5 minute conversation about "feelings" give them a brain altering drug they don't need and has serious effects.

It's just maddening. It is not about awareness, or starting a conversation, or about being healthy. Not for that group. It is an identity, a problem that blocks services, ..ah, I have to stop I am getting wound up lol
