people just misuse the word 'depression'. for pun related matters. not everyone but a vast majority of us
Judgejedge
yes

For the first time in the history of "Am I the only one" posts, it seems as though you are the only one.

My memes are ironic, my depression is chronic
baconmacka
Yes
CrabWallet
Can we add "isn't deathly afraid of talking to the opposite sex" to that list, @OP?
13thDukeofWybourne
I'm sorry you have to live through this, OP. Have you considered seeking help?
exguerrero
I look for this comment in every sob story now. Depression and therapy
Bearricane
I didn't have chronic depression UNTIL the memes.
KrystenRittereyerollingatshitposters
Or finds all these memes trivialising depression to bd edgy super fucking annoying?
Purplecodfish
Oooh look at me, I'm @OP with my stable mental health. Next you'll be telling us you have friends!
Ewanator
Several of them have depression so I think it balances out
AlwaysTrustTheManInABigWhiteVan
The depression is a meme of it's on nowadays.
LukewarmBeans
I wish he would shoot me with that gun.
VoltageXL1
Yeah. I don't have depression and I still find the memes funny
GravyFox
No, @OP, I'm pretty happy with my life as well
Zawayix
There are dozens of us.gif
swipesomething
I think memes work well with depression because they're relatable, especially in times when we feel most alone
AutumnMakesIt
Agreed
Ewanator
Good point.

YerAGrizzardArry
I'm with @op, although I have clinical depression that sometimes makes life difficult but is generally OK and i'm not sure if that counts.
Karoway
If you aren't depressed, you aren't paying attention.
DasFerrus
My memes are ironic, my depression is chronic.
DaYooper
There are dozens of us. Dozens!
Burghguy
Don't be ridiculous. You're depressed too.
SgtDuffman
Doesn't imgur tend to romanticize depression and other mental illnesses?
Spewge
Sometimes we sexualize it as well.
scifinovelist
Pics as proof, please! We like everything sexualized, why make an exception here?
idontknowwhattowriteherelol
As someone who isn't depressed, Imgur definitely glorifies it.
SgtDuffman
That is a better word thank you!
SilasWing
Or glorify it. Yeah.
SgtDuffman
That's a better way of putting it thank you
thehoopiestfrood
Indeed. I have depression and the way memes and imgur talk about it confuses the fuck out of me.
rollercostarican
i feel like some people (not accusing you) confuse actual depression with being sad or lonely.
wiresnake
nah, i turned my chronic depression into chronic apathy years ago.
FlintstonesChewableMorphine
I empathize with your apathy
wiresnake
Lolz
HollaHollaHollaHolla
Nope. I don't have depression. Someone told me to get over it and I did. Thanks random stranger!
FlintstonesChewableMorphine
Oh you know my dad?
HollaHollaHollaHolla
Is he tall and hairy?
LearnAboutStuff
No, I have crippling anxiety for example
FallingWithStyleSquirrel
Doesn't that make you depressed? I've been trying to figure it out but I think anxiety is the root of my depression.
Morrigi
It tends to cause a vicious cycle. Anxiety prevents you from doing things, which makes you depressed, which keeps you from doing other 1/2
Morrigi
things, which makes you anxious, and so on. Therapy helps. 2/2
lizardlamp693000
I mean I mostly just hated everything and wanted to die but then I found alcoholism which solved those problems.
skelitor120
It didn't solve it for me! It exacerbates when I run out of alcohol!
lizardlamp693000
We don't talk about those days
scifinovelist
In Siberia people dying from drinking perfume and other cheaper-than-alcohol solvents is an ongoing problem.
lizardlamp693000
Ya look up how they got drunk during Soviet prohibition. Shit will make your skin crawl. Extracting industrial ethanol out of glue and such
CaptainMiffles
Well I do have depression.. so sorry about that bud, seems you're on your own, how depressing....
idontknowwhattowriteherelol
It's not that, it's that when we come online, we constantly hear about it. I know it's a harrowing mental illness, but it gets too much.
donotforget1
It also doesn't help people. A. When everyone is joking about it seriously, it makes it hard to tell who's real and who isn't 1/2
donotforget1
And I know it's hard, but depression is managed by meds and therapy, not by continuing to surround yourself with depressive thoughts. 2/3
donotforget1
It's why I avoid most depression boards, because it's all a circle jerk about how awful life is, not how to fix the illness. 3/3
NikaNii
Because a lot of medication either changes who you are completely as a person or barely does anything at all.
RileyBanned
Yeah it feels like half of this community is going through puberty
Vanburden
Only half? Your generous
transientgirl
Yeah because only they can suffer from depression, right?
RileyBanned
No but they're more likely to seek attention because of it. And more likely just want attention and aren't depressed
transientgirl
While I agree on that, you cannot assume all users that post about depression don't have it and only want attention, it'd be a fallacy 1/2
transientgirl
of composition 2/2
RileyBanned
I know but I'm like a stubborn old man on the subject; I simply don't think it's the right way to deal with your problems
transientgirl
Might be true. But I guess it's a way to vent :/

This doesn't add up, you skipped anger and bargaining
digitalutopia
Well, that meme looks pretty angry to me.
offyourmumsteeth
They don't always go in order orbseparately. For instance, I'm in anger and denial like I'm in sweatpants and a hoody
Zootsoot
Dude. Just laughed so hard I knocked myself back into the denial stage with OP!
WhitePhoenix
But denial is a river in Egypt..
offyourmumsteeth
Many people drown in denial every year... Or are eating by gators
randomsonglyric
They're just trying to wrangle you into their weird depression circle jerk Op
wondersquid
Did I miss the sign up for the weird depression circle jerk?
MadMerlyn
I imagine actual circlejerks might help lift spirits.
randomsonglyric
They can use they're tears as lubricant. Mm hmm i see how that could work *nods head vigorously
Judgejedge
double negative, so you do have depression
Oshawartist
But hes dening the fact that he does not not have depression, thus he does not have depression
