Nobody can help, except by the sweet relief of death.

BINGO You're depressed. Totally helpless mindset, just kill yourself. Please.
That pretty much sound like me. I have been diagnosed with all these things.Wilhelm-Scream said:crippling anxiety, depression and obsessive compulsive disorder which I self-medicate with copious ammounts of alcohol due to my addictive personality![]()

I researched this stuff a fair bit, alot of it can be caused by PTSD, which I think is the cause of most of the anxiety crap, that and I have random flashblacks to memories, sometimes repressed memories, which usually are quite painfull to me. Then at random times they come back and keep repeating in my mind,usually late at night which keep me from sleeping. But I've never actually told anybody this..hmm. I also have a large amount of pent of anger from over the years, which sometimes exlodes out of me. That, and I supposedly have a learning disorder, but I have never been properly tested. So I'm all kinds of ****ed up I guess.

jaguarr said:With the heavy alteration of the general population's food and water resources being contaminated by chemicals, preservatives, steroids and hormones, flouride, processing and refining techniques, and many other things that alter the overall composition of the nutrition most people intake, it's not hard to imagine those things having an impact on the chemical and hormonal composition of the human body. Especially across generations where certain genetic traits can be passed or even mutated in the process. Couple in an ever increasing sense of stress and a widespread lack of physical activity for most people, and you have a very nice recipe for some strang things to happen to the human organism. Mental disorders and depression are just one variant that could be a result of all this.
So, while I agree with you that some people are genuine *****es mostly as a result of the overly sensitive nature of society that has developed where people are coddled even to their detriment, there are also a lot of valid cases where depression is a very debilitating thing for many people. It's epidemic in proportion, but the strange part is that in many more primitive tribes that still function on the planet where a more natural diet and physical activity are a way of life (not to mention the lack of some of the societal hangups we have), depression isn't nearly as much of a problem. I guess it helps that they don't have drug companies that are constantly inventing new diseases that require their special pill or tonic to cure, either. Don't be so quick to write off depression as a disease, though. It's very real, most of all to the people who suffer from it.
