I mean like fully understand it. A lot of people have this misconception that we all feel depressed or even suicidal at some point in our lives.
Personally I think this is nonsense. Depression is a severe form of negative feeling that blurs your whole way of thinking.
Taking myself as an example: I am constantly convinced there are so many things wrong with me. Then people would tell me I only think this because I feel depressed.
I didn't agree, because I thought I was depressed because I had so many things wrong with me. But now I am starting to think it is actually the other way around.
What made me start to rethink this is that I've seen people with much more severe problems than me, like ADHD, autism, and schizophrenia, and yet they didn't have HALF the insecurities I do.
The girl with autism took the cake, because she was very outgoing, very sociable, and very confident about herself. She didn't care about having autism.
None of them cared about their disorders. The only one that did (apparently) was me.
Thing is, I was always aware there was such a thing as 'depression', but I never really understood it, like properly. And I don't think a lot of users on this forum do either, or else they wouldn't be blaming themselves for faults they probably don't have.
