The internet needs to stop...

This is a warning... if you are sensitive to the topic of depression, or if u get triggered over different people's opinions, then do me and yourself a favor and get the fuck out. You have been warned.

I don't know why I am making this, I just feel like this has been on my mind for a while so I just feel like talking about it. So a few days ago I was watching a YouTube video, and then the person I was watching made I very very true statement that I never even thought of. So if you have a tumblr, or even Pinterest then u would know that depression, and the subject of depression, is just really pushed. If you don't know what I'm talking about I mean shit like this.

Now I am not trying to be insensitive, and out people with depression, but it is used a lot. Now I am not diagnosed with depression, and I don't really know anyone that is, so I don't really know what it is like, but I have a feeling that at least 75% of the people on these websites aren't actually depressed, they are just using depressing to start some sort of fucked up trend I guess, that unfortunately is very popular. But as I don't have depression, I really doubt that anyone with depression would want to publicly announce it like that, and post every thing about it at that moment if that makes sense. For example, I don't think that people with actual depression or different types of Mental disorders would want to make it that public. I'm not taking about coming out and saying that you are depressed, if anything you are really fucking strong for saying that, and publicly addressing it. What I mean is that someone with depression probably won't be posting all of these quotes, and pictures and stuff like that. The video also said that most of the people that create these types of things probably self diagnose themselves. Like yes you can be sad, but that doesn't mean you are depressed. Like most of these people making this stuff are probably teenagers with different feelings, probably not depression though. I don't know if people feel edgy, or cool in a way when they post things like this, or maybe they are sad and instantly believe that they have some sort of mental disorder, but it is not cool, it is not edgy, but it is in style, for some odd reason. Now I am not talking about people posting pictures with their wrists slit, no. That is real. That is a visual of people that need help, that is a cry for help essentially, but that is not what this is about. Now once again I am NOT trying to out or JUDGE ANYONE with depression, or different mental disorders, I am just saying that people (not only on the internet) should stop publicizing all these issues and disorders as this really cool, or hip thing. That's the only way I can describe it. People think it's 'hip' to post shit like that, when it's not, at least not me, and the people actually going through stuff like that. I don't know if I'm the only one that thinks this, I'm not sure if there is anyone else out there that agrees with me, but I just had to say that. Maybe all of this really does help people, and I am just being a dick, but I jus wanted to talk about this. I know that if someone sees this, they will probably hate, they will call me out for being 'insensitive' and 'heartless' or some shit like that, but I don't care. I know this isn't going to do anything, If anything it might generate hate, I am fully aware of that. Once again, this is MY OPINION. You may or may not agree with me, if you don't then you don't, and if you do then you do. More power to you regardless of what you think. That example I put may have actually been made by someone with a mental disorder, but I just used that as an example to help my point, and if it was made by someone going through something like that, then please call me out on it. Now for the people actually going through something like this, and you need someone to reach out to, then I will leave all of the suicide hotlines at the very end. I'm also not posting this to like jump on some fucked up band wagon or something, no. I just truly felt like making this, and drawing attention to this. Now, I don't know these people. They could actually be depressed, they could actually have anxiety, they may actually need help, and if that is the case then I am in the wrong. I am so in the wrong for making this. Now I would ask for your opinion, but people are probably going to tell me shut up and never talk again, so I'm going to leave it at this. If this offends anyone, I am sorry. I am sorry for whatever might be going on in your life, and I don't mean that as an insult or whatever. I truly am sorry. I am also sorry about the more serious toned post, and more specifically my hypocrisy. I have an entire story that revolves on depression, and suicide, and mental illness, and I am deeply sorry. I never thought about this fact before, like I said, and I was one of the people that thought it was 'cool' or whatever to talk about shit like that, and insinuate it in disgusting ways, and for that I would like to apologize. Good night everyone.
