I really, really wish I could understand other people. I wish I could understand myself. But I cannot. And sometimes, I just feel so tired that I don't want to do any of this anymore

Many people who've never experienced depression are dumb enough to think it's something you can snap out of or that you allow it to happen to yourself. They try to explain it away with things like "you just need to find a guy/girl" or "you just have too much time on your hands. Keep busy, fill up your life with things to do and it'll go away". Those people really need to FOAD.
I knew your life had value on the day I met you. I've seen you take the all hits and still keep going. I may have said this before, but I'll never give up on you.
Honestly, I think the hardest thing is not the ones who say 'You need to keep busy' but the ones who say 'You're doing this to yourself. Go out and make friends' or something similar. I cannot believe that people like that have really experienced -real- depression or anxieties.
I also think that they're extremely ignorant and arrogant to suggest that you should be able to just snap out of it and make yourself 'better'. Some depression DOES. NOT. EVER. GET. BETTER. I am not 'down'. I am not 'going through a rough time'. I have depression. A medical condition. A life-altering, chronic one.
