I don't think you understand depression. Whilst your not wrong many do romanticize depression or being that edgy emo kid, real depression is not like that. Real depression is a mental illness. Telling someone oh try to get better is dismissive ignorance. MDD or clinical depression is very real. Psychotic depression is very real. You don't CHOOSE to be sad and continue being sad. Rather it's the chemistry in your brain. You can take the necessary steps, working out, taking pills, walks in the park, socializing, etc. All of it means nothing when your brain is telling you to stay in bed. Or you can't muster the energy to do anything productive. It's not as simple as oh I'm edgy and depressed and I want to be sad. Some of is try everything and still can't get better, still can't come up with the energy to go out and do things.
