Guest JoshIcy Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 ITT: Being depressed means just being down/sad. That definition outright sickens me. Kindly don't use such a definition for quite a serious condition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Posted December 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 ITT: Being depressed means just being down/sad. That definition outright sickens me. Kindly don't use such a definition for quite a serious condition. I think of depression in "stages", minor depression meaning sadness, while major depression actually becomes a condition.

Or possibly to trick yourself into feeling compassion when someone is "feeling down"? Hehe, if you've not the kindness to do it naturally without tricking yourself, don't do it please. You shame us all for doing so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Posted December 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 I haven't done this in awhile. de⋅pres⋅sion 4. sadness; gloom; dejection 5. a condition of general emotional dejection and withdrawal; sadness greater and more prolonged than that warranted by any objective reason I'm thinking of depression as 4, and you as 5.

Guest JoshIcy Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 I'd classify 4, as a Popular Definition akin to using a word for Slang. Thus, should only be used in company if you cannot find the words to suffice. You are not wrong, but you are far from right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infinitus Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 Hey, hey. Icy, I understand you are officially, and clinically (Which I believe is the correct term) depressed. I believe that when someone starts a discussion of, and misinterprets (or you feel have misinterpreted) a condition that you have, it is highly offensive, regardless of intentions. However, Dark here (despite having a history of religion bashing) is being honest, and sincere about this. He isn't trying to offend or hurt you. He simply has different meanings of the word, which may or may not offend you. Please, Icy, I understand you are highly offended, but he is not trying to mock depression. I believe that depression is a little more of a serious term for what you are saying, Dark, but it is your opinion. Very little, am I sad or angry, and when I am it isn't for very long.

"When I say Pie, I mean a sort of cake that you bake with slightly different ingredients". It's not wrong, but it's far from right. It's still pie, and should not be called Cake. That parallel isn't even close to what the situation is right now. If I went to someone (assuming a normal person) and showed them pie and cake, they'd be able to tell the difference. But if I went to someone and told them to define "extreme sadness" and "a clinical condition which involves extreme sadness" (or whatever definition 5 was), they'd give me the same answer. Some words can be taken more than one way, and I don't think you understand that. I am talking (in this thread) about minor depression, something I classify as sadness. Sure, depression is a more extreme term than sadness, but that's what this thread is about. Anyone can be sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
