Honestly, I am very mad right now, and it is because last night I was on Facebook and I came across a post that one of my friends shared. The post was a blog that a woman with depression wrote talking about her depression and about her support system. She mentioned how when she was younger she heard that saying that how is anyone supposed to love you when you don't love yourself scared her because he hated herself because of how her depression controlled her life. She then went on about how the guy she has been seeing for the last year has taught her that even with depression it is possible to find someone who loves you and will make you feel...well normal. The post was about how she is living with her depression but working on loosening the grip it has on her. Her article was so extremely relatable, and yet still people commented criticizing her telling her to stop being selfish with her depression. They were attacking her when all she wanted was to tell her story. Those people are bullies. Anyone who purposely attacks someone else verbally or physically trying to cause harm is a bully.
I hate bullies. They were saying that depression is a joke, and that she was a horrible person for not putting any effort into the relationship and then it just kept escalating, they were coming up with their own conclusions, putting words into her mouth and just acting as if it were all just a joke. It wasn't funny or amusing one bit. Those people were cruel and now imagine being her and having to read those comments? Can you imagine the effects they can have on her especially while she is fighting depression? Don't get me wrong, I don't think you should walk on eggshells around people with depression in any way or form, but to attack someone verbally or physically for something that you are clearly ignorant of is wrong and cruel. I would be ashamed of myself if I were those cruel people.
