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

[–]adarkfable 539ポイント540ポイント  (57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!

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

[–]taigahalla 4ポイント5ポイント  (1子コメント)

Most people don't understand this. Depression is more than just sadness and suicidal thoughts...

[–]scotty-doesnt-know 5ポイント6ポイント  (0子コメント)

I actually gave up on suicidal thoughts. I literally dug through to the other side of my depression and have become so depressed I would not dare even bother with even picking up something to hurt myself with. Its just... yea im misserable but hey at least I dont have to move from this spot for the next 3 days!

Well, there are varying degrees of suicidal. I'll be taking an exit ramp off the highway and wonder what it would feel like to just swerve left really hard. Then, I realize I have a steak marinating in the refrigerator at home and I return to happy thoughts. I guess its a version of Gallow's humor. A nervous release of psychic energy when you're left alone to complete a mundane task like driving. It's never a serious thought, but a passing fancy like a fart in the wind.

I'm sure at some point you've all fantasized about killing someone you truly hate. You never actually do it, but there's that gleeful moment where you visualize it. It's the same for me, but in reverse. I'm not suicidal, but depression makes you think fucked up stuff. Then, ADHD swoops in to save the day with something shiny to distract you.

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 41ポイント42ポイント  (6子コメント)

just so open minded

oh fuck you

[–]mrwood69 25ポイント26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 29ポイント30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.

More like broken mindedness

There you go, good one.

[–]redditsucksandsodoyo 14ポイント15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 5ポイント6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 3ポイント4ポイント  (0子コメント)

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

[–]anonymaus42 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

As a fellow sufferer myself I would say we aren't any more open-minded but possibly far more objective.

[–]spiritbx 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Well, at least the world we have today is eons better than what we had before, poverty and crime rates are constantly going down.

Hopefully the world will keep getting better long after we are gone.

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 4ポイント5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.

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 4ポイント5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 9ポイント10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.

[–]datchilla 6ポイント7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 4ポイント5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 -1ポイント0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 1ポイント2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.

You know who's happy ALL the time? Idiots. Spongebob, patrick, homer, peter. Id rather be miserable time to time than be too stupid to notice

[–]WhateverIlldoit 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

They perceive themselves (as in they don't see themselves as above average if they aren't, for example) more accurately. How depressing is that? Side note, non-depressed people think they are above average in most things.

[–]Carvinrawks 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

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

Only when that perception is judged by a pessimist.
