I’d like you to walk up to a military veteran missing a leg, throw him on the ground and tell him to stand because he should “just get over it”. Guess what? He can’t, because that’s not how it works. It doesn’t matter how terrible of a person you are, that will never be how it works.

That's just rude to throw someone on the ground like that, and they say I'm a terrible person. All you doadoas are the same and can't open your minds up at all. The approach is to harden you. Make you meaner than whatever hoops you're going through. Life got you down? Sharpen up your teeth and take another bite, it doesn't stop and it doesn't get easier. In fact it gets harder the older you get, cause death creeps closer everyday and holy shit some of us just can't handle that thought. You know what's worse though, than someone simply not caring? Is the facade, the one pretending to care. You didn't care before so why the interest now? Because someone said "I'm depressed and it sucks" so it's your moral obligation to shower that [u] individual[/u] whom you like their YouTube content with attention until they are ok? So that you can carry on now that you've fulfilled your pity party obligatory attendance? Like an on/off switch I guess. No you want to help someone, make them harder than the depression. Your mind is a fortress, let it as such.

You're obviously very young. Once you get more years under your belt I hope you see how "toughening up" is just another illusion of control. Your fortress walls will break one day and you will need love and compassion to heal.

[i] obviously[/i] Again that's a choice, as is your own interpretation. I offer you a new perspective on a take on life and instead of giving the notion any thought you affirm it cannot be done. And how long before the pity pool dries up? Ever notice how depression seems to be an ongoing thing? Yet we approach it the same exact way? Sympathy and pity until the sads go away. Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and over again expecting a different result. When I have an inmate in my Sally port or in a cell and he's freaking out, mad or depressed whatever. Talk to him. Don't pity them or start yelling cause you just adding emotion to emotion. And emotions are volatile. Ultimately YOU take responsibility for your life. No one else will do it for you. That includes the ups and downs. Own your life, it doesn't own you Or keep doing whatever it is you cats do sitting around feeling sorry for eachother.
