Do yall believe in ‘depression’? Sometimes I think it’s just spoiled people (mainly girls and closet homos who had bad parents) who don’t know how 2 be happy… but I haven’t been around people who are poor at n e time in my entire life, so it’s hard 4 me 2 put myself in the shoes of some1 who have real problems/have had 2 work hard 2 get somewhere in lyfe/feel like life is for more than just floating from weekend2weekend.
It’s also hard 4 me to believe in depression cuz the graphics that are in pamphlets about DEPRESSION are s0 funnie.
Kids can apparently be ’sad and not know why’ even though they don’t have any serious relationships or financial responsibilities.
This chart maps why entry-level alts started listening 2 blog house.
Do yall believe in depression? Or is it only for 40+ year old people who ‘don’t know how 2 adapt to our technological society’?
Was Tom Cruise right that medication can’t truly help people b happy? Do u have any ‘zany’ friends who are depressed to a level where it ruins Saturday nights for your group of altFriendz?
What internal conflict is inside of ’sad people’/depressed people?
- mainstream vs. alt?
- bad parents?
- person I want 2 b VS. person I will end up being?
- will I make good grades?
- Am I ghey or straight or bi?
- will I get an iPod or a Zune?
- Did Garden State mean something or nothing?
- Will I move 2 NYC or LA?
- Will n e 1 ever luv me like I think I deserve 2 be luved?
- Is my personal brand authentic or phony/which 1 will make me more money?
- Should I major in communications or design?
Is it hard for yall 2 empathize with people who don’t have the tools to be self-aware/have stopped yearning for ’something more’/taken the emotional energy 2 make their mainstream concept of ‘happiness’ obsolete?
I guess what I’m trying 2 say is:
ALT = HAPPINESS ?

electro made only one mistake: scream “oh we are so zany and young and having so much fun” when no one is having fun.

When I get depressed I kill a hooker and then drink a carafe of Kool-Aid.
You should never drink the Kool-Aid first though, that’s just stupid.

A couple years ago, I used to think depression was a myth. Like, you choose to worry about things, you choose to let things get to you, etc. I have never really been depressed myself. I mean, I have been sad and thought, “will things ever get better?” But they always do. Anyway, I actually grew extremely too close to a chronically depressed/bipolar person. Nothing was ever enough. He tries to buy his happiness, of course it doesn’t work. Tends to date really good looking girls, they just disappoint him. He grew up not having a lot and now has a really well paid job. He is really gifted with whatever he sets his mind to. He is still never happy and constantly questions existence though. I mean, how successful does one need their life to be to achieve happiness?
My point is that maybe depression really does exist? It was just hard for me to understand because I don’t have it myself.

Mostly, depression is just annoying. I nearly got kicked out of sk00l cause I stopped going to classes and talking to anyone. At all. And eating and the like. For NO reason!
Moral of the story is that legal or otherwise, some sort of drug will save America.

Depression is real but most people aren’t depressed. No, most of us are just unhappy and there is a differance. ALT makes you bitter and unhappy becuase you see the world for what it truely is. I have never known any real alt to be happy. They may be depressed but they sure arn’t happy. We find escape through various means like music, drugs, drugs, etc. but it’s fleeting. too depressing?
