Depression is something I have struggled with, both on a personal and interpersonal level. It is complicated and unruly and indescribable to the outside. If you dont think your words can affect others, you need to open your eyes. Simple words you write on facebook; be they about someones weight or appearance or race or any matter of pointless objectifications of insecurity; be they playful ribbing or assumedly harmless jokes; be they lackluster comments on hot button topics -- be aware that they can hurt in ways you never expect. I really believe that in some way, small or large, we all suffer from depression and need to come to terms with the ubiquity of it. Because you have control over your insecurities for the moment does not mean that every person you encounter also is at that level. No one is perfect, and god knows Ive been the person dishing out these jokes before. The problem, and the solution, is that we all need to try and change.
