I didn't chose top be depressed. I want to be happy , but it just doesn't work that way.
I wish people could understand depression is a real sickness, not just "Oh, I think I will be so sad that I want to die today.".
I really like you and your art but this is just making me really mad.

You know, every day I get people saying "Why can't you just get over it and be happy," and no matter how hard I try, I simply can't.

I don't think Uo is saying that being depressed is what's bad; it's the fact that some people wallow in it and never do anything to help themselves get out of that stage.
Maybe you didn't choose to become depressed, but you can make the choice to do something about it and try to find happiness. Like any other sickness, you can either to succumb to it and let it rule you or you can fight it and overcome it. I'm not saying it's an easy proccess, but as long you try I think you're bound to get somewhere.
At least, that's how I interpret it. c:

I'm so happy for you. <3 That sounded tough, but now you sound better off.
That women sounded epic. ^^ I'm so happy she was there for you, I happy you chose life. I am also happy you where too 'scared' to do it, till you could meet her. I wish the whole world would be happy...

@__@ This is brilliant. Mesmerizing, really. The swirls, the colors ;w;
And thank you, Apache~. This is very meaningful and helped a lot of people {myself included} realize something today.
And what a lovely style you have. It's absolutely gorgeous c:

I'd have to agree with Kiwi. That's not what Apache is saying here.

I myself struggle with chronic depression on a daily basis, trust me, I know just how you feel. I often have days when I feel like I'm all alone in the world and feel helpless. It isn't always easy but if you strive hard enough to stay positive, maybe look at your situation in a different light, and can surround yourself with positive people, it is possible to get through it. Just remember you're not alone, no matter how much it may seem that you are.

roonie-roe, you just added so much light to this. i do not feel the need for some people to wallow in their own sadness. some people live with no food, no water, maybe no house or family. yeah, you might be depressed, but it could be much worse. thank you for understanding this, and i hope you will stop your wallowing and start smiling. maybe if you do, the sadness will not even be there to wallow in.

be happy, people. it is better than being sad <3

Okay, I understand c:
Sorry Apache, I was overreacting there and totally misunderstood your message xD

Np varoujan, I'm glad it was cleared up
Happiness is actually a hard concept for some people, for a while I forgot how to even be happy. I know how you feel. <3
