Severe depression is like an emotional cancer. It grows and grows in secret. Slowly over time. In the beginning, you don't even realize that it's there. Until one day it takes over your life.
To me, you don't really know how bad it is until it affects your life which is why I don't joke about it or call someone who is struggling to rub dirt on it. There is little I wouldn't do for someone who was succumbing to their helplessness and despair. But that's why these threads piss me off so much. I mean, you don't know if the person is playing a stupid game or if they're serious (from a moral perspective, you have to assume they are), yet you have no way to contact them or help in any way.
All it does is remind you just how screwed up the world can be sometimes.
