I forgot the details, but I think there was a study done that depressed people tend to perceive certain things with increased accurately

[–]adarkfable 439ポイント440ポイント  (39子コメント)

I'm depressed and I noticed you used the word 'accurately' instead of 'accuracy'.

Son of a bitch...

Don't do it man, you've got a lot to live for!

[–]spiritbx 89ポイント90ポイント  (32子コメント)

I have depression, depressed doesn't mean suicidal. We just don't fool ourselves as much with all the things people normally ignore.

Holy shit am I the only person here who thinks these comments are pretentious as fuck? You don't have to be depressed to know how the fucking world works. The only "proof" of this is your condescending opinion and a "study" that someone else mentioned. Maybe you're depressed because you're a fucking cynical prick.

Depressive Realism, It had some backign a few years ago, but has since been criticized and no ones really worked on it.

An unbiased look at the current data.

As someone with depression i understand i perceive everything negatively automatically by nature.

I don't believe that allows me to perceive the world more accurately though, as it's simply always negative.

Everyone should read this, because there is a lot of criticism of the studies done. Sure you might look at the world differently having depression, but pretentiously telling people that you perceive the world more accurately because you're depressed is moronic.

Yeah well most of us don't go around saying that shit to people. Except on web forums about depression.

You're such a lying bastard. This isn't r/gonewild.

Shit, I'm depressed.

[–]MiamiPurple 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

You're 100% right on this. For some reason, people on reddit believe that there so called "depression" is a product of there above average intelligence and they can see the world for what it really is. That's a load of bullshit, people aren't happy because they're stupid. Depression is caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain, not a reality shattering intellect.

nah you're not the only one

As a fellow depression sufferer, I kinda agree with you. I think we are just so open minded that we know this world is pretty shit atm (or at least our current situations) and we just acknowledge that which tends to make us feel down on ourselves.

I always try to look at it like we live in the very current moment we are in. It's what we do with that moment that defines our future path

[–]dertydan 29ポイント30ポイント  (6子コメント)

just so open minded

oh fuck you

[–]mrwood69 15ポイント16ポイント  (3子コメント)

It's less open mindedness and more an inability to feel strongly one way or another about a lot of things, which is what I imagine he was trying to say.

[–]dertydan 21ポイント22ポイント  (0子コメント)

I stand by my statement.

Being depressed isn't some philosophical altruism.

It's feeling like shit, all the time, with barely any respite.

Chances are the things that do give you solace aren't healthy.

[–]Bree-Rad 1ポイント2ポイント  (1子コメント)

More like broken mindedness

[–]dertydan -2ポイント-1ポイント  (0子コメント)

There you go, good one.

[–]redditsucksandsodoyo 10ポイント11ポイント  (1子コメント)

oh fuck you

That's honestly a pretty closed-minded response to someone saying they're open-minded.

Depression does tend to heighten your awareness of a lot of things (Sound, visuals, people looking at you, small annoyances, etc). That's likely what he meant.

[–]creepycalelbl 4ポイント5ポイント  (6子コメント)

Depression stems from being idle and not having a position where you can make short term goals and achieve them daily. Our brains are wired for positive feedback and when you dont have that your brain stops working as well.

[–]Subt1e 4ポイント5ポイント  (0子コメント)

lol what. You sound like a teenager trying to be deep.

[–]Loofa_Jam 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

That is such bullshit. In spite of what Reddit propagates, being depressed doesn't make unique, interesting, or a victim. It doesn't give you super analysis powers.

In reality, your mind is crap at sustaining itself. Depressed people are objectively worse at pretty much everything. You're likely just a negative person that can't control his own emotions.

Don't do it either, but you've nothing to live for. Life does suck, and really has zero purpose, but instead of killing yourself, just don't breed, and be a Good Samaritan and encourage others not to breed instead of being selfish and dying with the secret that life sucks kept to yourself.

[–]igweyliogsuh 3ポイント4ポイント  (0子コメント)

Your life only has no purpose if that's how you decide how to live it. Wouldn't you say that just being a good Samaritan and helping others is a healthy purpose for a life? Think about the butterfly effect, and how those actions branch out into your reality.

[–]Cast_Me-Aside 15ポイント16ポイント  (1子コメント)

Depressives are less prone to unwarranted optimism.

However, they're also more prone to unwarranted pessimism.

I read something some time ago that suggested that depression might be a problem solving strategy we get stuck in. Effectively that in the same way when you're too cold and you reduce blood-flow to your extremities, that depression is an obsessive focus on problem solving. This would account for why depression results in such a state of profound apathy.

Long-term depression would then amount to getting caught in a groove you can't remember how to get out of.

Unfortunately I don't recall where I read it, so I can't say whether that was based on a study, or just a personal theory I saw somewhere.

[–]PsySom 3ポイント4ポイント  (0子コメント)

I was a psych major in college and I'm pretty sure I've read that sort of thing. Some depression is adaptive (and normal) but once it becomes long term it's maladaptive

The dark scraped-up diseased side of that coin is seeing everything wrong all of the time. Seeing people out to get you complete with delusions and/or hallucinations.

Psychotic Depression

[–]Ac3oSpades 8ポイント9ポイント  (1子コメント)

I hate that people take depressive realism as fact there is as much evidence for it as there is against it.

[–]easyj86 3ポイント4ポイント  (0子コメント)

Your statement has a totally different meaning without what I assume is a missing period.

[–]Iron-Star 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

Only when that perception is judged by a pessimist.

[–]datchilla 1ポイント2ポイント  (5子コメント)

Well yeah someone goes gambling with a depressed person. That someone thinks, I hope I win and doesn't. The depressed person goes, I'm not going to win, and doesn't.

[–]igweyliogsuh 3ポイント4ポイント  (0子コメント)

Why do you assume that no one ever wins?

[–]PsySom 1ポイント2ポイント  (2子コメント)

I think anything that leads you to believe you won't win from gambling is accurate

[–]asharwood 0ポイント1ポイント  (1子コメント)

This...when will people realize gambling is not a 50/50 win/lose. The odds are way out of your favor.

[–]demanthing 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

And anything with decent odds has a shit prize.

[–]rijl 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Or maybe they calculate the odds off winning as being precisely 350 to 1 and accept the brutal reality that they are not going to win? You call it a negative opinion. We call it reality.

Depresses people have more accurate internal clocks than non-depressed.

That's just makes me even more depressed.
