I'm not condemning anyone in this particular thread, but my personal opinion is that a quite a few of these anxiety/depression cases are simply people who don't know how to kick their own ass and get the job done. Regardless of whether your condition is real or imaginary though, do not, by any means, become one of those people that go around blaming all their failures on said condition. If, for example, you didn't get your part of a project done because you're simply a lazy fuck, somebody calls you on it, and your immediate reaction is to snap back about your condition(s) without any thought process involved, you need to seriously man up and re-evaluate yourself. I know several people like this, and beyond the fact that it's annoying as shit, you can easily slide into life as a completely worthless human being with this kind of behavior. Don't fall into the trap. So how many times have you read Dianetics just a question here

He can't tell you that, teefs you haven't paid any money

your butt cheeks is warm now fucking get it onnnn

oh god rank get out of my head

Admittedly, my warning to people about using their condition as a crutch is rife with assholish-ness. But I think it's a needed tone. As a society, we can't continue to treat everything related to a person with kid gloves, based on one condition or a set of them. We need to guide these people towards living happy, productive lives, even if it means bending them a bit beyond their comfortable boundaries. Yeah, you know who else we as society baby too much? Schizophrenics. Who are these fuckers who think they can just act however they want? Fuck them, they're just pretending to be crazy for attention and if we whip them into shape with some tough love they'll step right into line. I think schizophrenia and anxiety/depression are just a wee bit separated as far as seriousness and how easily misdiagnosed they are, but maybe it's just me.

Depression is a serious clinical problem, you shit.

Yes your anecdotal opinion is worth more than the APA's yes

Depression is a serious clinical problem, you shit. Of course it is. I'm not arguing that. I'm saying that saying "some supposedly depressed dudes aren't really depressed" and "some crazy schizophrenic is perfectly fine just needs some work" is a pretty big jump.

And you're the final arbiter on who is depressed and who isn't? man man

Spoiler: show spoiler hide spoiler

who would have thought that Wessley Willis was not the sharpest knife in the drawer? fucker had me fooled.

I wonder if he ever gets depressed

Are you guys jumping on TxdoHawk because he's a scientologist? (We have a real live scientologist on here?)

And you're the final arbiter on who is depressed and who isn't? man man Uh, I am definitely not. Did you miss the part where I said I definitely wasn't?

Guys, is it that time of the week where we disintegrate into a horrible argument over something if so, delight

Yo dudes, I want to apologize for being a douche. The woman I'm currently seeing has been driving me nuts because of related shit (the whole using her conditions as an excuse for everything thing), so when I saw this topic I kind of vented and took a verbal dump. I'm not gonna lie and backpedal, and say those weren't my opinions, but I definitely put them harshly. My bad. It's ok. But I would like to say that depression is a serious problem for some people, and it is hard to understand how powerful it is unless you experience it yourself. I know that sounds like some overly liberal-thinking bullshit, and that if depressed people would just "man up" they could overcome it, but it's not really that easy. A good way to describe it (I wish I could remember who said this... it was a popular news anchor, I think) is "you second guess everything about everything." i.e., you have zero confidence in yourself and everything you do. It makes you feel like a fraud, and that you don't deserve anything you have. I'm sort of manic-depressive, so I experience that feeling occasionally. I don't take medication for it, but I don't have a problem with people who do. Prozac and the like may be overprescribed, but not as much as you might think. When they put the "black box" warnings on antidepressants a few years back, it scared people away from them and suicide rates went up as a result. So it is clearly important for some. I'm not saying people can't fake it, but you should probably give them the benefit of the doubt until you know otherwise.

Don't you have some women to go hit?

don't you have some smarts to not use?

It's ok. But I would like to say that depression is a serious problem for some people, and it is hard to understand how powerful it is unless you experience it yourself. I know that sounds like some overly liberal-thinking bullshit It definitely isn't. I completely agree that there are depressed and anxiety-ridden people who absolutely need help, therapy or medication or otherwise. I just think modern society is a little too eager to pen the prescription.

Guys, is it that time of the week where we disintegrate into a horrible argument over something if so, delight Man, I'll tell you what, this is entirely my fault. I should have just kept my trap shut and moved on, I should have know full well that this particular opinion + this particular thread = No.
