PSA to all authors with a depressed character:
          	It's mocking to people like me, who've had or still have real/deep depression, to read about most depressed characters. I had real, severe depression and it was nothing like the flat feeling authors on Wattpad make it out to be. All they write is feeling sad/empty then cutting to feel. Some write that the character feels lonely. How come no one writes what it's like to desire happiness so badly and to feel so miserable when they fail so hard. How come no one describes what it's like to feel lonely, to want to be loved, but somehow loving the misery and loneliness. Why does no one appreciate the complex darkness of depression. It's unsteady waters, not a flat description of "I'm sad and hopeless." It's deeper and hungry. It consumes and consumes and as much as a person hates it, they feed it over and over again. It comes with mixed emotions, some highs, some lows, then some deep, dark pain. Why does no one write how hard it is to get better without the cliche need to cut again. What about the emotional pain that's so much worse than the bleeding? What about the feeling of drowning on land, of not being able to breathe even when there's nothing wrong with your lungs? What about the fight out of the black water, about striving to get better because you want to? Why is it every author I've seen does the "I'm cutting cause I'm sad/can't feel" to magically better because another character said so. What's even worse is how it's bought. "Oh, poor -------" Depression is nothing like this. It's not I'm only sad all the time. It's not just black. Depression is black velvet. It's the sharp rocks at the bottom of a roaring river. It's deep pain that cuts more than any exato blade ever will. Author's: why are you selling out something so deep and complex like a cheep, beauty fad? How about the real painful truth instead of a pity party? Please? Your story doesn't suck but you need to be real and brutally honest with your readers.

@ Wolf-Madison  that's why I cannot write about depression because it's just to complexe for me to understand. I know they have their up and down but I never really manage a good plot with a character that have depression. I Read some that write about depression and like you said... It's to repetitive with the I Cut myself to feel. Maybe they do cut themself but it's just... Cliché? Like their is no Deep meaning and I don't like it much when the others around them have to encourage them to live... It's like someone with depression cannot overcome it without having people constatly being with them. I remember reading a good story about a guy that lost his fiancée and have being in depression. He didn't need someone to help him. He manage to accept the death of his love one and then found the light of his darkness time. It's have a better flow to his state of mind until he slowly mourning his lost. I know depression is a serious subjet but many doesn't see it like a real illness but I believe it is and it's can touch anyone no matter where you come from.... I am sorry I feel like I rant out (• ▽ •;)

@Wolf-Madison hey homie i too have been there, and i am not going to write a really long and full paragraph bc im about to fall asleep but honestly i I could rant about this issue for hours. The amount of glorification in writing, yet neglect in real to the serious topic of mental health and self harm is so awful it makes me sick tbh. I’m so glad someone called it out for what it is. The depiction of mental health is drastically different from how the experience is for people. It shows how many people glorify it for their own purposes and turn a blind eye to remain ignorant about the topic itself and huge stigma surrounding it . It makes it a whole lot harder for those actually struggling with their mental health to ask for help because so many people don’t take it seriously anymore.

So the fam and I went to a picnic the other day and I left the window in my room all the way open because it's horrible hot here. I have a beautiful border collier, her name is Daisy. Daisy is like a person in that she's sometimes incredibly smart but other times incredibly unintelligent. So we were at the picnic for about two hours. We pulled into the driveway and my sister screamed. We all looked up and my dog was on the roof of our two story house, wagging her tail and looking at the ground like she wanted to jump. She couldn't figure out how to go back into the window she came out of. We all ran out. I guided her around the roof and my bro brought in back in through the window. I want you to think about this. We came home: and there was a full grown border collie on the ROOF! WTF? 
          Also my mafia story: Legami de Sangue, is out, but that's not important.

Inugami_sama

@ Wolf-Madison  Daisy wanted to climb to the roof cause she miss you and thought if I go to a higher place I will see them coming! But that when Daisy found out that was not actually a good idea as she wasn't sure how to get down... Pets are so precious and incredible impulsive just for the sake to get our attention ( ꈍᴗꈍ)
