people don't realize how much it eats at a person, you feel incapable of so much, and lose the capability to do what you once were able to do, you begin to not care.

She takes a lot for granted - asking a depressed person to do too much.

Moron. And what in the name of fuck is wrong with your eyelids?

but if there's no reason for the depression, then you can't really put it on a list like if you have lost a loved one. There's nothing to write :S

If I would give any advice to people out there it would be this. Between the age of 11 and 18 try your hardest, no matter what, to socialize to the fullest extent that you can. If you become isolated, and introverted in those years, and don't achieve any life experience once you fall into deep and dark depression from 18 into adulthood you will feel you have nothing to draw upon to give you strength. It's hardest for people who are totally alone to beat depression, so try your best in your youth

First of all, you should stop putting negative energy out into the world. Getting angry won't help you at all, and doesn't really bother or hurt me whatsoever. I've also suffered from depression, but it's not an excuse to speak to people like that. Try being nicer to people. It might help :)
