Both of these chucklefucks seem to saying that depression is a millennial affectation, a character flaw, something only now increasing.
Never mind that the first treatise on depression, or melancholy (as it was known) was published in 1628. bl.uk/collection-ite…
Never mind George Cheyne's 1733, 'The English Malady', extensively discussed mental illness in Georgian England. bbc.co.uk/radio4/history…
Never mind idolisation of Thomas Chatterton after he 'committed suicide' in 1770 (something different altogether). independent.co.uk/arts-entertain…
No, depression is just something bored millennials have come up with, the weak degenerates! How could we be so blind!
Bullshit, in 21st century, we understand depression is a complex disease that has multiple contributing factors. psychiatry.org/patients-famil…
We know how to treat depression in many cases, using either medication, talking therapy or lifestyle changes. nhs.uk/Conditions/Dep…
Despite the fact it can be effectively treated, suicide is still the leading cause of men between 20-49. mentalhealth.org.uk/statistics/men…
Because dumb motherfuckers with a platform like @cobratate & @prisonplanet tell their fans that they're weak to talk about their depression.
That shit that would keep me up at night, especially knowing queer youth are 3-4 x more likely to commit suicide. thetrevorproject.org/pages/facts-ab…
For goodness' sake, if you have struggled in misery for months, please make an appointment with your GP & ignore these fuckers.
If you're a parent, sibling, spouse or friend, please help those who are struggling to get help. If you love them, ignore this tough guy BS.
If you're in the US & can't afford a GP visit, ask around - there are ways & means. There might be some online searching involved.
I took this photo back in March 2016, in the midst of a severe depressive episode. I was considering taking my own life.
A year later, after medication & therapy, I'm out and about & having all sorts of adventures. Living a few dreams actually.
Things can turn around very quickly from depression, it just takes seeking a help, not listening to some fuckwit boxer or YT crank.
So, look after yourself & look our for each other - that's how we get through our troubles. Not bottling it up. Fin.

As UK ‘Yellow Vest’ groups continue to harass politicians, other activists and journalists, it's worth a reminder of how groups of desperate, angry young men can form the bedrock of tyranny when focused and encouraged to intimidate an enemy. /1
It's important to note that Britain 2019 is quite a ways from Germany, 1918. Many of the factors present then, simply aren't now. There will never be another ‘Nazi’ rise to power. However, history does present us with disturbing parallels. /2
As Imperial Germany signed the armistice, millions of young men, both veterans & those too young to fight, found themselves unemployed, defeated & with an uncertain future. Many young men sought a sense of security in right-wing bands of fighting men, known as 'Freikorps’. /3

So hey, it's the weekend, we deserve a break from the garbage, so here's some more of what I got up to in Vienna. This one was fairly art-heavy...
First up, we checked out the outside of the Secession building, built in 1897 as a base for the Secessionist movement of Viennese artists, who brought the ideas of the Art Nouveau & Jugendstil styles to the city. A strikingly futuristic building, over a century later.
The words above the doorway read 'To every Age its Art, to every Art its Freedom'.

It was a place where many of the most recognised and influential artists of the early 20th century exhibited.

Recently I talked about how figures within the British Far Right, centred on ‘Tommy Robinson’, increasingly use live-streaming & crowdfunding services to provide a substantial profile & payday. This is an attempt to pull together existing reporting to give a clearer picture. /1
What I am attempting to do here is not investigative journalism - simply pulling together what is already in the public domain to add weight to my previous thread and encourage further discussion among journalists, activists and interested members of the public. /2
The first thing that needs to be said is that this is not an issue that figures within the government are unaware of. As recently as December, @Tom_Watson was highlighted the Far Right’s use of Facebook’s ‘Donate’ button (since disabled) to raise money. /3 theguardian.com/technology/201…

Many of us are legit raising up depressed KIDS or living with depressed "Family" members. I grew up struggling with Emotional Imbalance. In my 100 Level, I had an opportunity to OPEN UP to someone for the first time.

#OSHO

The #mind is always ready to go on a trip because it is only in trips that it feels alive. #Meditation simply means sitting silently, doing nothing, not even #thinking and the mind disappears. Because you are not on any trip, the mind is no longer needed.
The #mind is a guide for great journeys. If you are going somewhere, the mind is very happy; in your going somewhere the mind can feel enhanced. But if you are not going anywhere, just sitting #silently, doing nothing, the mind feels very #sad.
It will happen almost always to meditators that when the mind feels sad, it starts creating #boredom for you; that is a strategy of the mind. The mind is saying, "Come on! Let us go somewhere, let us do something. Why are you sitting? Just sitting doing nothing brings boredom!"

Depression is more than just feeling down.

It's a lack of motivation, increased negative emotions (anger, anxiety), a lack of concentration and memory, negative thoughts about oneself and the world (hopelessness, worthlessness), social anxiety, feeling trapped, dark imagery.
Fun not-so-fun facts about #depression:

Over 100 mil of us suffer from it.

It's existed as long as there have been human records.

Was first named as a condition 2400 years ago, by Hippocrates (in the West).

Non-human mammals can be depressed.

#mentalhealth #mentalillness
We often think of #depression as sadness, but the "two A's of depression" are very real: anger and #anxiety.

Other negative feelings that can increase are sadness, guilt, shame, envy, and jealousy.

Here’s something to remember next time you hear “we simply can’t afford it.” thehill.com/policy/defense…
Imagine having a budget of $700 billion and blithely saying this.
Oh well my fuckin’ hero, then, never mind.

#1: I have the right to ask for what I want.
You are allowed to ask. You don't have to mind-read beforehand to make sure the answer will be yes. You don't have to swallow everything you want or like or need. Sure, it's possible the answer will be "no," but you can prepare for that possibility. It's not wrong to ask.
