Depression is one of those things that most people don't actually understand what is, being sad is only a part of it and not necessarily for everyone. I don't judge anyone for not knowing, since it's only recently that I actually started to understand how serious it is, but yes, depression is a serious topic that can and has ruined many lives. Belittling that only makes it harder for people to accept that they might have a problem, so understand that us jumping on you is only because we want you to understand how offensive and potentially dangerous that line of thinking can be.

It's understandable to an extent how depression could seem petty when so many people out there go around moping over nothing for no real reason.
However, real depression isn't anything as simple as just being "sad", it's worse than that and also a broader, far more uncontrollable (for many people at least) issue of the mind.

Wait... Kill la Kill, yeah, Madoka... not the series really, but alright... Shrek? Did I miss something when I watched those movies? Should I go back? Are these secretly awesome movies, is that why people are so into them!?

Depression isn't the same as being sad. Your circumstances have nothing to do with depression. This is why people like say...Robin Williams, who had a family, tons of money, and was loved worldwide, still ended up committing suicide. He struggled with depression most of his life, and good things happening to you doesn't make it magically disappear.

It is a chemical imbalance in the brain, that can be corrected, sometimes this happens naturally (teenagers are prone to depression moreso than most ages groups but this is a phase that most grow out of - the body basically corrects the issue on its own). Other times, it doesn't go away and becomes incredibly severe and persistent. This is clinical depression, which medication does help with.

Depression and other mental illnesses also are linked to genetics - if your family has a history of depression (ie. the chemical imbalance), you are more likely to suffer from it yourself.

It is just as severe as physical illnesses, and when people die by their own hands because of crippling depression, it's not a matter of "they shouldve gotten over it", it's a matter of them losing the battle against a terrible terrible disease of the mind.

Ah alright. I don't have it but I had heard they had a useless anime category. This was a while ago though so I guess they added more

Wow, I almost died laughing on the toilet when I heard Pat talking about how he wanted his corpse to be launched via catapult at Bill Gates' office at Microsoft.

This man knows. People need to realize that clinical depression is not a mind set or a mood. It is a medical condition that many people struggle with, sometimes as long as their entire lives, to live with and overcome.

Shessh getting realgaf in here.

Anyway, writing. Also my brother keeps watching Jem in the Holograms, it's weird.

Romance in plots, it's kind of weird. I usually have a little romance in the stories I write, but never ever let it overtake the main plot.

Netflix surprised me with some of it's selection. Digimon Adventure was one of the last animes I'd expect, and I love that they have it.

Now give us the jp audio for YuGiOh dagnabbit

Yeah, I suffered 8 horrible years of it before I "beat" it. I didn't tell anyone(heck I didn't even realize it until a long ways in,) and didn't get any therapy or medication, so I applaud others for being smarter than I was and getting help.

Getting the willpower to finally overcome it was genuinely the most difficult thing I've ever had to do. So I appreciate that everyone here understands how serious it is.

When I saw it on there I got hype, then realized it's dub only. I've been looking for Yugioh subbed for years and it's impossible to find anywhere.

Same, I watched the first arc unsubbed, but then I got too lazy to deal with all that space that "rented" anime take (on my shelves).
Here's hoping they go all the way!
