I could honestly find a logical flaw in every possible reason you have to be sad. Life is tough and you should learn to be strong and not care so much about the petty little shit that bothers you now. You are all young as fuck and want to waste these precious youthful years…

Part of me agrees but the and other disagrees. i am cynical about people claiming to have depression when as you said, they cant distinguish between that and being sad. i have little sympathy for folks claiming to have depression but have no issue in making that a topic of conversation all the time but refuse to take action. And yes, i have close friends/family who legitimately suffer from medically diagnosed depression and i see how it’s wrecked them. Which is why i cannot deal with people falsely claiming to have depression or self diagnosing. seriously, in the past 7 years every second person i met claimed to have depression. I acknowledge i have no medical background but i have seen real cases and i can recognise a faker.
