Low key pissed/triggered.

An old family friend posted a picture saying a walk through the woods is an antidepressant and antidepressant pills are just a life long addiction. First off there are many people who have a chemical or hormonal imbalance they have no control over and need medication to help correct it. No one knows what it's like to constantly be in a state of depression unless you have depression. It isn't something that going for a walk will help with. It is so irritating to me that people pretend like they know how it all works when they don't. Yes you can find other outlets for depression and get off the pills but they are a good safe way to start and it's good to keep your doctor inform with what's going on with you. I've been medically trained on that stuff and in pharmacy. Antidepressants are not an addictive pill either. So f****** irritated right now. Don't act like you know how it is to be depressed or suicidal or have awful constant anxiety about everything. And no anxiety over a test isn't the same as daily anxiety, yes it is still anxiety and it is valid and it does suck but imagine living with that daily about everything. Being upset for a few days strait isn't the same as living with depression. Don't pretend what you know people are going through when you don't. Even if you have been through the same situation everyone handles things differently and something that might have just been a scratch to you could be shattering someone else. Support each other. I'm not saying to encourage a pitty party someone is having for themself but support them through things. I feel better. Rant over.
