It seems like all these 14 year old "goth" kids are like "omgz I'm lyke soooo depressed!!"... and I just want to scream "No, you're really not! You're just attention-starved and misinformed!"
It seems as though everyone is so eagar to self-diagnose depression, but what they don't realize is that depression is actually an illness, not an emotion or state of mind.
Depression is not wearing all black, too much eyeliner, having emo hair and not getting what you wanted for Christmas.
Depression is when you cannot appreciate a single aspect of yourself, and you cannot operate without thinking about what a failure you are... or supposedly are. It's physical pain, maybe even more so than emotional.
Cutting yourself with a butter knife is NOT a prerequesite for being depressed.
It just really gets me angry. Does anyone else agree with me?
