Some people find it hard to not let things like sexism and hatefulness ruin their day because empathy is too strong.
Asking someone like that to not be depressed about seeing something hateful is like asking them to abandon their empathy which is tough
But for those who feel they can pull it off, it can be a great thing, just want to point out how it's easier said than done

This is not just a smile and be okay post. We all change, all the time. You need to look at this. There is pain but he/she/it, is trying to

I really struggled to let go of some things. It felt like 'cheating'.
singstoinstrumentals
Same here. It's rough.
thecatspyjamas
Oh fuck! Same! I could never actually put it into words but you've nailed it. Knowing that is a bit of a relief so thanks, friend.
explain? why would letting go of what be cheating?
Well I was sad/depressed but I felt it was the correct way to feel about things and anything else would be incorrect/delusional/cheating.
okay I get it, I've always thought about it the other way around, instead of being sad/depressed my issue is I don't know what happy 1/2
feels like. I've had good days, but never thought of myself as happy, even when nothing was wrong in my life, so I'm reaching for that now.
Thanks for sharing, some people find it hard to not let things like sexism and hatefulness ruin their day because empathy is too strong.
Im highly sensitive and Ive spent my entire life hating myself for feeling so much. I've always felt stupid for not being able to not care.

As someone with chronic (non-suicidal) depression, I don't think this is particularly constructive.
charmandfez
I agree, and while I never made the attempt I had plans for suicide. It's not a single problem. It's everything and anything.
YamatoIouko
Is it EVERYTHING? Or is it just so many numerous thing that they feel legion and all-consuming?
The issue with depression (and everyone's different) is that it's not typically "caused" by an external factor. You just find joy in nothing
SneakEFoxxe
Perhaps not for you. Different people have different problems and motives.
meresin2718
People with serious chemical imbalances can't just "kill the parts they don't like." The pain is just there and they want it to end.
That's what I'm saying. That's the case for some people. For different people it could be a specific problem or mindset.
This meme is corny, self helpy bullshit that won't help anyone with serious problems.
CirclejerqueDuSoleil
But. I. Don't. Like. Living.
Golgafrincham
I felt that way and still do sometimes. When it got really bad and I was ready to end it all, I actually took a chance and ended a bad 1/3
relationship instead, it helped. I think the point is, we get one shot why not try every option, including professional help, 2/3
before giving up. There are lots of assholes out there, but not everyone is. 3/3
returnofgannon

You don't like the life your living. That's different than not liking living. Can't you imagine a better life? Live that life
I.
Don't.
Madcaplaughs84
I can imagine the better life but I just don't see a point to it. The better life in itself doesn't seem to be enough.
All I know is when I go through rough patches sometimes all I can do is keep putting one foot in front of the other. Things will change.
cowbellrx
It is the life point though. Whats the point of living if we are a spec in eons of unending space. Just to have matter cycled? Move me on
Yeah you only get the matter that makes up your body for a cosmic spec of time. Use it well. Don't take it too seriously.

I hate me.

What if living is the problem?
onecattwocatbigcatsmallcat
please elaborate
blazebot4200
Living is all there is. Their might be a problem with the life but you can always try to fix it. Unless you end it.
IAmNotASkeleton
If you end it you won't need to fix it.
Penishat
I feel ya.
LadiesInboxMeYourInsecurities
Yeah but what if my problem isn't with myself but the world around me. Should I become a super villain and kill the world?
TheDalmuti
If thats what makes you happy. Then go for it.

As someone with chronic (non-suicidal) depression, I don't think this is particularly constructive.
charmandfez
I agree, and while I never made the attempt I had plans for suicide. It's not a single problem. It's everything and anything.
YamatoIouko
Is it EVERYTHING? Or is it just so many numerous thing that they feel legion and all-consuming?

The issue with depression (and everyone's different) is that it's not typically "caused" by an external factor. You just find joy in nothing
SneakEFoxxe
Perhaps not for you. Different people have different problems and motives.

People with serious chemical imbalances can't just "kill the parts they don't like." The pain is just there and they want it to end.
SneakEFoxxe
That's what I'm saying. That's the case for some people. For different people it could be a specific problem or mindset.
meresin2718
This meme is corny, self helpy bullshit that won't help anyone with serious problems.

But. I. Don't. Like. Living.
Golgafrincham
I felt that way and still do sometimes. When it got really bad and I was ready to end it all, I actually took a chance and ended a bad 1/3
Golgafrincham
relationship instead, it helped. I think the point is, we get one shot why not try every option, including professional help, 2/3
Golgafrincham
before giving up. There are lots of assholes out there, but not everyone is. 3/3
returnofgannon
they don't get it

You don't like the life your living. That's different than not liking living. Can't you imagine a better life? Live that life
CirclejerqueDuSoleil
I.
CirclejerqueDuSoleil
Don't.
Madcaplaughs84
I can imagine the better life but I just don't see a point to it. The better life in itself doesn't seem to be enough.
blazebot4200
All I know is when I go through rough patches sometimes all I can do is keep putting one foot in front of the other. Things will change.
cowbellrx
It is the life point though. Whats the point of living if we are a spec in eons of unending space. Just to have matter cycled? Move me on
blazebot4200
Yeah you only get the matter that makes up your body for a cosmic spec of time. Use it well. Don't take it too seriously.
