I Have Something to Say
I see depression as 2 sided. #1 clinical depression and #2 social and self induced.
I believe that we have more #2 in society now then ever, but is looked at as #1.
How dare I say that, you may ask, you don't understand. Well I do, I have children that have depression. But what I see more often then not is the depression is brought on by them "thinking" they are not good enough, or smart enough, or xyz. So their depression is more self induced, because they are allowing other to define them, which they are believing.
You have to be your own best friend, you have to find your own self-worth. It is horrible watching my daughters self-esteem drop because some stupid boy calls them XYZ. I know it's the teenage years, but this rolls into young adult years, then throughout some people's adult life.
Listen, NOONE is perfect, NOONE does everything correct. But people DO attack others for making them FEEL bad and take it out on them. You have to find your rule set, and create your road to follow. Don't give people the power that they don't have or earned.
