10% of life is what happens to you. 90% is how you react to it. I think your talking about the 90%. |

Its true. We are what we want to be. If we want to be sad because of something happening, then
that's what we'll be. We control what we want to be. Some people might say we don't control our
emotions, i don't think that's true. I think its easy to give in toemotions, but we control them.
Its like getting a cut on your arm. You can chose to ignore the pain, or you can feel it to the max
and experience the pain the fullest. I've noticed even in my own family how people create their own
problems. Example = they'd call me for dinner, id say i'm studying, all of a sudden they angry, why?
What is it to them? Do they NEED to get angry? No. People have become weak with this advancing
world, when people die we mourn them as if the whole world has ended. Who cares if they died? There
are so many religious ppl yet they cry their eyes out when someone dies, even when they know that in
their religion people ' go to a better place', if their going to a better place, shouldnt you be
happy and waiting to die yourself so you can be with them? You should be smiling. People have become
weak and there is only a select few of us that have what humans use to have. Last example before i
stop. AN OSTRICHE lays 6 eggs, and egg eater comes by and steals them while the ostriche is feeding.
Ostriche comes back finds her babies gone, doesn't start crying, just goes on with life. Sure she'll
look for them, but inthe end realize its inevitable, and its nature, therefore what happens happens,
and to just go onwith your life. Humans on the other hand, lets say a woman has 6 babies, the babies
are kidnapped and murdered, the woman has a breakdown and her life is over after that day. This is
what society has done to people. Once again, people have become WEAK. |

Bookworm3 is right on with this one. Aside from situational depression, which he/she missed. Yes,
under certain circumstances, one can experience an episode of situational depression.
This can occur even if one is being bullied. If, on the other hand, one is taking to heart
everything others say, I would not call the resulting sadness their fault, but I would not label it
as clinical depression either. There is severity to be factored in. In teenage years, before self
confidence is fully developed, hurtful things can be harmful and cause intense self doubt. This can
trigger a depressive episode. Usually, the depression caused by something like this is transient
and will abate without medication if the bullying stops and with the right parental or other adult
intervention. In healthy people with good self esteem, someone calling them a name or telling them
they are bad, is generally not something that can cause any type of depression. Perhaps a sadness
due to the loss of a friend or someone you perceived as a friend may exist for a period. Clinical
depression, however, is a serious and treatable mental illness. It is the source of much pain, both
emotional and physical, loss of employment and puts people at the very real risk of suicidal
ideation, intent and follow through. Medication can be a great help, but is not the end all be all
to any illness. If a person wants help, they may have to try several meds before finding the one
that helps their specific depressive symptoms. They may also suffer from other neurosis on the same
axis or as a differential diagnosis. Those could require a different medication. Clinical
depression and other mental illness is a chemical imbalance, much as diabetes or other illness that
needs to be regulated by a chemical to keep our body in check. A physician is able to determine the
best method of treatment for one suffering. Do not dismiss situational depression however. There
are times that it serves as a spring board to a clinical depression if it lasts long enough to
become chronic. |
