i know the feeling all too well.

i just started, and i've been experiencing major cramps. like on friday during the school show, while i was doing my monologue. this cramp just like hit me right as the lights came up. it really made for a convincing "DAMN IT!"

haha. but anyway, i'm sorry you're feeling sad/bad. as i said, i know the feeling. listening to music sometimes makes it better. or eating.

mmm food...music. yup, tried that. but that was yesterday. i'm more normal today, i guess. i was soo spacey this morning in marching band though...i felt so bad.

LMAO about the convincing damnit part. i hate those really bad ones where you feel like you're practically in labor...i usually get those at night, though.

well, ANYWAY, enough about my feminine functions that you all don't want to know about. it's your fault for snooping in MY comments in the first place! (not that i mind in the least that you do...)

dude...its ridiculous how you always talk about being depressed. as if you even know what that means. even if i havent been (really) depressed before, i have been a little, and i can tell you hun, choir songs and whether this boy likes me are the least of it. it doesnt matter if you feel grumpy...thats not being depressed. so unless you are actually depressed, shut the f*ck up about it for a while!!!

the annoying thing isnt her being sad or mad- i would b sympathetic about that- the annoying part is saying that shes "depressed" whenever she feels sad- its not the same thing!

First of all - who are you?

Mel can write whatever she damn well pleases, it's her journal. You don't have to read it, nor to you have to be sympathetic to what she is saying. When she says that she is depressed, it means that she really is. Depressed means "lowering in spirits," not suicidal. That means that she CAN be depressed about boys and such. Get your vocab straight, geez. I'm sorry if you or someone that you know have dealed with more "emotional trauma" than Mel, but you can write about that kind of stuff in your own journal. Get one.

being depressed is waaay more than just feeling sad or having a "lowering in spirits"- im sorry that she feels sad but it pisses me off that she uses the word depressed to describe herself because I know what being depressed is and she is not depressed!

riiiiight, 10-22-03 10:56pm

sry but ali's right. you DONT kno wat depressed is. you know what DEPRESSION is. that's a disease. if you have it, then i'm sorry. but DEPRESSED is feeling sad, or downspirited. depressed is just really sad. so mel can be depressed but that doesn't mean she has depression. and why should it piss you off if she says depressed anway? it's not liike she's saying 'oh i am SO way worse off than everyone else!' she's just saying she's not feeling too great. but if you really do kno what being 'depressed' really is, i suggest you visit a doctor and get some happy pills to balance hormones in your brain (that's not being rude, that's what the pills do) so if you're depressed, i'm sorry, but stop acting like people can't be depressed without having the disease

If reading something "pisses you off," then don't read it. It's as simple as that.

Wait a minute - first you said "i havent been (really) depressed before" and then you said "I know what being depressed is".... hm... someone's lying..........

Re: riiiiight, 10-23-03 10:16pm

well really they cant be depressed w/o having depression-- being depressed is what depression dus to u- and dont tell me how to feel because it really does annoy me more than basically anything else when people use the word depressed to mean sad

whatever, 10-23-03 10:51pm

well excuse me for so RUDELY butting in on your life but ĄCALMA! u can be depressed without depression. you aren't 'DEPRESSED' like really depressed people who can't get out of bed in the morning because theyre brain inst making endomorphine (well its endo something, i forget what but i THINK its endomorphine that makes you happy.) but depressed doesn't mean haiving the disease depression. it CAN but not usually because that's the way it's used now. depressed means unhappy. depression is a chronic disease which most people who say 'i'm feelign depressed dont have.'

uh no, 10-24-03 10:21am

Ok. If you look up depressed in the dictionary, it makes no referance to the sickness "depression" at all. The thing is, since so many teenagers in this generation have depression, people assume that depressed means that they have it. However, it doesn't. So go away!!!

Re: uh no, 10-24-03 7:40pm

Okay, everyone. Kiss and make up. This entire conversation is making me depressed!

(reply to comment)

wow okay..., 10-24-03 10:32pm

nice little argument we're all having here... i wish you anonomus's would post your names!! i'll try to find out with I.P addresses and all, but if you are all random people that have never posted before... wowzers. oookay. i'm really sorry i started this whole depression thing, and i'm sorry that some of you are depressed, and i'm sorry that i upset you. sounds like you're wallowing in your own self-pity and like to brag about it...(does this make sense? noooo) but, since i can't specifically apologize to you in person, this is all i can say: i'm sorry.

BUT!!! the fact remains the same. this is my journal. i may post anything i want. if you don't want to read it, no one is forcing you too. (and i sure as hell hope you haven't made my journal your homepage, but if you had, CHANGE YOU'RE FRICKING HOMEPAGE TO SOMETHING YOU WANT TO READ!!) but, in any other case, my journal is not being used for any study/other useful purposes, so you have no obligation to read it. so please don't, especially if it upsets you.

have a nice day, everyone. that is all.

my two cents, 10-29-03 11:31pm

hey mel...this is my two cents about the whole depression thingie...you can be depressed without having depression...but it's not the same depression as you have when you actually have depression. does that make any sense at all? and to the rude person who posted the comment that sparked this chain...mel can feel the textbook definition of depressed (low in spirits etc.) without ACTUALLY being depressed and needing medication. and to whoever said take happy pills and everything's fixed...it doesn't always work that way. *i don't knwo for sure for sure, but usually it just drastically helps. so yea. that's my little input. basically, no-one's wrong and no-ones right, but everyone's beign rude...because try adn find one nice post other than mine (hahahah :). ok that's all.
