I just needed to get this off my chest no offense

Ive seen ppl who killed themselves or ppl claiming to be depressed they were happy with friends and families in their photos even in real life... They are always nagging about their lives but they look happy.. So happy.. I think they are attention seekers *no offense*. They are so loved.. Spoiled even.. Too much.. Until they decided to kill themselves to get attention or make some drama to hurt their. Families.. Im just expressing my opinion nothing more... Im just mad at those ppl.. They should see my lifee.. I have nothing and no one.. And im still holding on... Still breathing.. Still tryna livewith all i can.. Im not generalising.. I just saw some of ppl like that... And it confused me and pissed me off.. I think they are ungrateful for their beautiful lives... Even if it has some downs.. Its still a life... Again i mean no offense... I just wanted to say that a long time ago..

May you or your loved ones never know true clinical depression, what it robs you of in terms of relationships and life events, the Herculean strength it can take to slap a smile on your face so as not to disturb others, years of making the rounds of psychiatrists and psychologists to no avail because there’s still so much that is unknown about the workings of the brain and perhaps worst of all, being blamed for having the disease, even after actually committing suicide, by people who think they understand depression when in reality they don’t have a clue.

So yes, it’s highly offensive being called ungrateful and an attention seeker looking to make drama. Imagine using those labels for a cancer patient who’s not showing outward signs of the disease because they look happy in photos and real life, unthinkable right?

People really need to educate themselves before offering such ignorant, hurtful opinions.
