Depression needs a doctor my ass!!!

You dont need drugs and therapy

Maybe you do need drugs and therapy

People DO get depressed, and DO need medical assistance.

at no point have I "taken back" anything I have said

Oh, okay. Thanks for clearing that up. 

nothing I say makes any sense 

in an insane world a sane person appears insane 

we should be pumping each other up

I think CZG is your man for that... 

Cheers! 

cause you have a blog.

Tells something about the writer's beliefs about happiness. 

wtf is it with people reacting so negative to negative expression?

The negative people mostly have a point. I think it's the people without arguments, who use this 'bah, you're only negative' shit as an excuse for not having to argue.

At least the people around me, who i'd categorize (yeah, i know, shut up) as most awake/aware of what's going on, are the 'negative' ones, and the 'negativity-complainers' are at the opposite end.

maybe it's time for the complainer-complainers shut up, because the complainers have a point and the complainer-complainers don't ;)

That said, i knew people, who were NOTHING BUT negative, and not complaining about 'real' stuff with arguments, but bitching about other people, etc. the only times they seemed to have fun were when they made fun of others. Those people sure as hell don't have a point ;) 

I wrote at least seven drafts here for messages where I called all of the people in this thread various names and made unfounded claims about their mothers, but in the spirit of being positive I deleted them all! 

since I realised that I want to be a happy person, not a grumpy loner. 

How To Disagree: http://paulgraham.com/disagree.html

Blitz: we are here originally for the gaming topics; but, we're also compadres, and necessarily want to talk about some other stuff besides q1 mappery.

Frib: the problem is systematized greed.

Ricky: go volunteer at a hospital. 

Anyone disagreeing that depression can be a real disease is a fucking idiot. Those people aren't lazy - they are clinically depressed.

And yes, sometimes doctors are quick to jump to a diagnosis and prescribe the wrong thing. They're human and they will miss things that seem obvious in hindsight. My doctor diagnosed me with carpal tunnel syndrome which, after reading a few books, I can say is wrong. What I have is RSI. Doctors are humans - always get a second opinion on something serious that might affect the rest of your life and your ability to enjoy it. 

nice thread!
fully agreed, boredom is a result of the narrowmindedness... people are unable to find anything that might interest them, so they go and grab a bottle and sit with it all day blaming the world in their unluck...

of course we live in the hard times, even if we don't need to hunt for food or fight for the shelter, our level of life kinda raised from the cavemen, but the life has become more....uhm intense. not everyone is able to accept this by their psyche, hence depressions. and it's really hard for such peope to find the way out of it. since we're tribal species by the nature, only closest firends are able to help in this situation. if one doesn't have good friends or relatives in his life, his life might become real challenge...

like the one in Kewait, with the lone dog dancing 

You're just a complainer-complainer-complainer 

It is the increase of the speed and rate of communication.

Humans have a tendency to allow what they hear to shape their concept of normal, when they are in fact selectively choosing where they listen.

The internet is filled with people looking for excitement to make up for the mundane limits of real life.

But what you hear on the internet isn't "normal" or even typical, it is what scientists refer to as observation bias. 

if this doesn't cheer anyone up, you're dead inside:

That worked! 

Is you.

Sat there, insular, in front of a PC, notebook or even fiddling with a telecommunications device - forgetting about the people around you as you set up a nice fiend / flcikering light ambush, or find the last rune hidden in Digs04.

You make me sick. 

I got these mammary implants and I subject myself to a continuous and strenuous course of hormone therapy for the sole purpose of nursing abandoned orphans whom society has deemed unworthy of love, wait, gotta go burb little Suni . . . okay, I'm back. So if I indulge in a little me-time fragging fiends and the like, I hope the world can find it in its heart to forgive me; after all, between A.J. and myself, we pretty much carry the weight of it all on our shoulders. 

I didn't even find the 3rd rune in Digs04, I suck at even being the disease of society (is this what it feels like to be CZG?) 

Stop whining, and either go map, or go suicide...
