DGYPT :

this is 100% true. it's the environment.

MiracleAri :

I just don’t think that’s how clinical depression works

user749291488492 :

Depression is anger and frustration turned inwards

jessicaryannmarie :

Another thing to realize is you can actually develop an autoimmune disease/disorder being in an unhealthy environment.

LindseySeven :

My “family” can’t stand me and keep telling me I need “help”. I’ve logged more hours in therapy than all of them combined. They do not love me nor see me.

bri :

always comes down to the environment

Mujer Del Morro :

Yes, it’s called my parents, they have traumatized me my whole life

Amber Rogers :

This is why every single therapist Ive ever had, tried to help me leave.

ʎoɹʇɟoɐɯlǝʌ :

I cut EVERYONE off. My whole family, friends Ive known for years. Magically, over the course of a couple years, I'm no longer depressed 24/7.

. :

If I had money I wouldn’t be depressed

Kaagagi :

Some of us have mood disorders sorry

Juls :

Yep. I was depressed from 12 to 22 and then I moved states and started living on my own. Now, I have moments situationally where I feel utter despair and hopelessness but it is not near as consistent as it was when I was 30 minutes away from/living with family

FloraFindsForever :

Started Lexapro at 16 yo. Took a variety of other medications trying to get rid of depression/anviety. Fast forward 30 years and I have finally acknowledged my childhood family’s toxicity and gone NC. Been two years with none of them in my life and no need for meds either.

SomeGirlFromVine :

That plus poverty = chronic depression

Pepper Ann✌🏾 :

Tam 🇦🇺 :

depression also comes from trauma and may have nothing to do with the people you surround yourself with

mercurialmess :

my entire childhood

Oh Nati :

This is TRUE

Christine :

35 years and no end in sight.

EntheoJen🍄 :

Or it’s because we live in a world designed to actively make us chronically depressed. It’s not always personal trauma— modern society itself can be traumatizing. We’ve all been lied to our entire lives and our souls know it.

Pam not pan :

I been depressed since the 90s, I have cut everyone off except my kids and have felt the best I ever have, just lonely now

Quinn :

true. cut off my whole toxic family and doing much better

Boatdock :

I gave up my future and life to take care of my mom, who abused me my whole life, but nobody else in the family stepped up. She has never loved me a day in her life, but I gave up mine to take care of her. Don’t do what I did. Get out.
