Well wasted my time , is this over all western cultures you guys are proud of ? if this is Harvard student guys life, what the fvck about others?, the movie which is a true story ,it’s all about bad(fuck)language, drug, smoking, sex, egotism ,after 10 years of living in the west I am fucking tired of your guys coarse language all the time , I have decided to move somewhere else , cartainly this culture make you depressed
I just love the flashback Lizzie has of her mother going crazy at her father, followed by the transition back to real time and her mother asking Lizzie....."What is wrong with you?" Says a lot.
@anja96ful shes depresed because hse had all the worries about her seeing her dad again and she was amagining all the imiges and it was scaring her so she was writing about it to try help but her friend didnt respect her so the stress was depression
''You can only hang out in my room if you don't do drugs'' - Didn't that c*** persuade her into taking ecstasy in the first place? He ought to be shot.
i know how one´s parents problems can launch a serious depression. if something´s not right at home then everything will eventually go downhill. i get lizzy, how could she be ok after all the shit she had to endure at home in her childhood?
@Silnetbullet89 I totally agree depression is hard mine is on and off and sometimes extreme. I read the book too and its so descriptive. I wish you well :)
That noise? And yet, the complete silence at once? I've gotten that. It's creepy to have that identification. Your mind overstresses and just cannot handle anything.
my god look at this for like how many time, ive bought it and throug it way dening back then i had a problem got married had a kid and its always been there got help like she says im fuking leaving proof it fucking dose not work jajaja fuck im a therapist my self jajajajaj blows up in my , being biopol/neorotic/mia/ana fuck i just haved learned to cope with it, but damm for every body out there "normal" i solute u peace and love who are out there coping the same way xoxoxoxo
People with mental or neurological disorders may appear selfish and inconsiderate. That's what much of the book was about; the girl is always pissed off and emotionally unavailable.
Parents of emotionally unstable kids don't always understand them.
My father has reacted almost the same way as the mother in this movie, except he almost did not react.
When my doctor diagnosed me with mild depression, anxiety and obessive behavior my dad still thought I was fine.
When I had panic attacks and cried and curled up like a baby, he just said WHY DO YOU KEEP SAYING YOU HAVE ANXIETY.
I am now on anti depressive which ANOTHER doctor thought I really, really should be on. I have been suicidal, my dad knows, but he still ignores how sick I am
That is not fact or true. That does not make any sense, if your able to talk about your able to get treatment for it. Not talking about, just means you do not know what is wrong.
Dont try to make it seem, as if I am not sick. You dont know me, and you sure as hell dont know what I go through everyday.
wrong. ive suffered from bi polar disorder and anxiety for 8 years now. i talk abou tit openly to warm people who meet me of why i act the way i act. ive come to terms with my mental disorders.
i suffer from panic and anxiety attacks, i've never been on any medication becuase luckily i've been able to get though with just theraphy, but it really pains me to see people who just think you can turn depression or anxiety off 'just don't be sad', however i understand why people don't get it, i have periods of anxiety that usually last around three weeks, then i'll be ok for like 4months, and when i'm fine and in I can't understand how it felt to be anxious all the time.
I have the same thing. I suffered from panic attacks, and now I just have anxiety. I went for two years without medication, but when I got medication I felt like I was flying. It was the best thing to ever happen, plus the therapy. Combinated it helps.
Now I just suffer from stress and anxiety and I am still on medication. Plus I have suffered from this since I was a child. I am now almost 18.
It is because I got in a very traumatic accident, which changed my life completely.
its true! i use to get my ass whooped! lol some ppl really do have issues. some ppl just seem not to think anyone could have a mental problem, because they dont or can cope w/ problems.
LOLZ, I had a similar discussion just before my doctor "diagnosed" me with bipolar disorder. I was after Adderall and the following ensued:
"You seem to be exhibiting drug-seeking behavior."
"That's because I'm seeking fucking drugs!!!"
Throwing labels like "bipolar' and "depression" does more to perpetuate diseases than to cure them. So many people take those labels as identities and fail to take responsibility for certain actions. Mental illness sucks, but over-diagnoses doesn't help.
true. These drugs seem to help and might get you on the other hand, too high or hypersensitive, anxious... Thats one thing Doc´s won´t accept that leaves permanent damage on your personality (never mind if you stop taking them). That is why there are people campaigning against miss-use of these chemicals.
I love this movie and this book. It has such profound insights into depression. It really captures very, very well how people don't understand depression.
When I was in the hospital, they told me it wasn't my fault that I use drugs, that I was depressed. They compared it to cancer. But would everyone still be so mad at me if I had a terminal illness?
Dead on, shelby. If you had a physical illness like cancer, there is little chance people would be mad at you, but since mental illness doesn't have any physical signs (not in the way physical illnesses do), then people with mental illness are treated with FAR less respect. You hit the nail on the head!
I totally agree with you my sister has bi-polar which she makes worse by using drugs like heroin, methadone xanax etc she's been hospitalised and arrested and the hospitals and courts just keep fining her! she's a danger to herself (she passes out often in random places and talks about suicide) and others (my mother and i have both been asauted). If she had cancer or something everyone would be trying to convince her to get treatment, because its a mental issue ppl don't seem 2care.
I wish I lived in the states. In England, there's definitely more of a 'stiff upper-lip' mentality. People try so hard to pretend they're not depressed, to the point when suicide seems to be on the same level as forgetting your jacket.
o my fucking gpd her mom pisses me off so bad her voice is so annoying shes like my mom she blew up on me cuz i didnt captalixe 1 i in an essay i had to rite
I swear...it's like so many parents think it's the kid's fault they have mental illness. "Yes, mother. I asked to be depressed. I decided one day that I never wanted to feel happy. I did this all to piss you off."
i know dude i feel the same fuckin way today my mom told me if i cut myself tonite she was gunna ground me from this conert im going to she said nothing about tommorow though and she told me this after she was yelling and swearing at me
you know what im stoping here. i dont need to watch the depressing lifestyle of a struggling writer because its the same thing as watching my own life that i live everyday as soon as i wake up. truth is that i only wanted tot watch this for jonathan rhys meyers, but whats worth it about watching Christina Ricci renacting your life and something you cant have. im only trying to get better here by gaining my selfcondifence and trying not to feel lonley anymore.
To paRtyoVaheaa: I hope you do find a way to get better and gain your self confidence. I have struggled with depression not as deep as in this movie but i can relate to so much of this movie. I have begun coming out of it and I truly hope you do do. There is life and hope on the other side of depression, although it can be hard to see.
I went through I time in my life when I to struggled with a mild case of depression. But you have to be strong, and you have to believe that there is life and love on the other side.
Agree. Coming up is the best part. gradually then suddenly, it's the way depression hits and it's the way you come out of it. It was for me any way. Thank you. All the best to you and your recovery as well. All the best to the recovery of any one who has been hit by depression.
It's difficult though... when I told my parents that I was suicidal, the only thing they did was shout at me... literally. Which really didn't help at all.
It's shocking, the amount of hatred and disrespect you recive when you try to commit suicide... even among your closest relatives or lovers. When all you really want is support.
for people who has depression, elizabeth wurtzel is a great and big inspiration. especially prozac nation. she decides to live in the end which is great.
Yeah I noticed that to.... I guess they couldn't go all over the place filiming bc she goes there, TX, and Minniapolis. But yes they did leave A LOT out.
