I dont have much to say about this really, so doubt Ill reach the 500 word limit and this will probably get removed, but the title says it all.I come from a family that has a history of depression that runs in it. I suffer from it, my mom and both her parents did too and they were all on anti-depressants. Im not, yet, but I probably should be.I hear a similar theme on suicide, mainly that it is cowardly. I strongly feel that anyone who says this has not experienced depression themselves. It is a completely unsympathetic thing to say.But, that was not my original question, although Id be open to having that opinion changed too. My reason for posting is not to argue, but rather to ask, why exactly should I not feel sorry for myself from time to time?So tell me, what am I supposed to be feeling when I start to feel sorry for myself? I assume its shame, humiliation, or a mixture of the two? Im just completely confused as to what people are getting at when they say itd be pathetic for them to feel sorry for themselves. I mean, it is pathetic, I suppose, but that argument doesnt do much for someone who already has low self-esteem.I hope this text didnt confuse the original statement, but Id really like to hear a good reason that changes my thinking about feeling sorry for myself. Ill be around for the next couple hours. Thanks!Hello, users of CMV! This is a footnote from your moderators. Wed just like to remind you of a couple of things.
