• A kid donates and thanks a streamer for helping him get through depression. Said streamer then insul
    134 replies, posted
I learned a couple of years ago that I was clinically depressed, and had been for over a decade. What got me through my hard times was watching shit, seriously. Finding a good show to watch and look forward to gave me a nice, even if small, reason to keep rolling. I'm here now because I had access to some outlet for stress and depression. If twitch was that outlet to that kid, power to him. Fuck the streamer for actually saying that my problems weren't real. Kid was thanking the streamer for being that nice, even if small, reason to keep rolling, and he just spit in the kids face, backpedaled to try and make it sound positive, and then tried to say [I]he[/I] was the victim later. No, no. Fuck you.
Literally the one thing he said that was decent was "don't attribute getting through depression to me, you're stronger than that" but it was blurred out somewhere between saying that anxiety and depression affects everyone so get on with life and telling his friend to shut the fuck up so he could keep literally spewing shit out of his mouth [editline]20th April 2016[/editline] [QUOTE=rndgenerator;50167904]I find it strange how he blew up over that. Possibly someone in his life committed suicide and he's triggered?[/QUOTE] I thought that too, but I feel like if that were the case you'd be more supportive of somebody that went through depression and is coming out alright
This guy probly has some problems of his own or a family member of his killed themselves and now hes just going after this guy spilling his rage on him. He definetly doesn't seem wrapped too tight. Also what the fuck you're an asshole because I made you feel better and you're not depressed anymore????
[QUOTE]there are friends[/QUOTE] Oh, are there? I bet this was the cunt that put the plasma gun in Tribes Ascend
[QUOTE=LaTrefle;50166157]Wtf is wrong with you guys, this is exactly how a depressed person should be treated. He did absolutely nothing wrong here. He couldve just shat a bunch of words and call it a day but no, he decided that saving this kid was more important than stream or viewers. Thats not something alot of you can do. Ill be watching his streams from now on[/QUOTE][QUOTE=LaTrefle;50166183]In where of the video he calls him blatantly a piece of shit? Ofc i have no clue what im talking about because you dont think i was depressed before. The life we live in requires us to live someone elses life, theres always a price to things and you cant afford killing yourself, its not that easy. Ive been there. Took shitload if pills, went to therapy. In fact hes making the greatest speech ive seen about this topic by far.[/QUOTE] I've not read a more cripplingly awful post all year your idiocy ripples out through time and space If I read any more of this I may ACTUALLY have an anu... aneris... I can't even spell oh my god its already happening. [editline]20th April 2016[/editline] the funny thing is too, he didn't save the kid with his rant. The kid was already 'over it', he just decided to rant regardless. His "Toughlove" bullshit is the problem
[QUOTE=HAKKAR!!!;50169003] I thought that too, but I feel like if that were the case you'd be more supportive of somebody that went through depression and is coming out alright[/QUOTE] That really depends, not everyone handles loss of loved ones the same.
If you don't know anything about a very sensitive subject, don't bring your opinion, it could hurt a lot. I'm not saying your opinion isn't worth it, it's just that it might be better if you don't speak of it, especially in a context such as this.
DMBrandon was well known in the community for being an asshole. I'm glad he's gone finally.
[url]http://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1soj9ft[/url] for anyone interested, dmbrandon posted an apology and explanation.
[QUOTE=Exooodus;50169792][url]http://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1soj9ft[/url] for anyone interested, dmbrandon posted an apology and explanation.[/QUOTE] For someone who never had any shame in being a terrible person for years, seeing them actually bend over and make an apology post is a surprise. What isn't a surprise is that they are trying to hook some pity, excusing why they are like this, and saying how he wants to run away but will stay and keep going just "for the people". It's obvious that the only regret he has is that all of this went so poorly for him, that his status couldn't save him this time.

Honestly, I didn't even see the full message, just that I in some way helped. I can't deal with that, honestly. What if in a year that person kills themselves? Am I then responsible for not being engaging enough to keep them interested?[/quote] he is so incredibly egotistic that he thinks that he is the sole reason that the guy decided to not kill himself when the donor said that they only discovered SMITE though him and then went on to use SMITE as a positive outlet like he literally thinks that he being burdened with keeping a suicidal person entertained or they'll kill themselves [editline]20th April 2016[/editline] [QUOTE=LaTrefle;50166228] What the fuck is with this board and constant phrase manipulations around? Im just saying depression isnt fixed with a tap on the back. You need something to just explode in your life so you start doing what you needed to be doing 2 years ago. Its not easy as its said, but nobody said it would be easy.[/QUOTE] it worked for you so obviously it will work for every single other person who's depressed fuck, who needs professional therapy anymore? just go on the internet and let people call you a stupid asshole until you snap out of it
[QUOTE=thegrb93;50166782]He's right that you shouldn't be telling everyone about it trying to get sympathy points for it. You should go get professional help. [editline]20th April 2016[/editline] Have you been on twitch? I highly doubt someone privileged enough to have the time and money to waste watching twitch is actually suicidal. It's just some dumb over-dramatic tumblerite[/QUOTE] yeah i have been on twitch except i'm not ignorant enough to assume that "privileged" people are immune to the effects of a mental fucking illness and maybe part of the reason they're afraid of getting help is because if they were to tell people they're afraid of some dick assuming they were only doing so for "sympathy" points. as if being sympathetic for those who have depression is a [I]bad[/I] thing

Seems like most of FP is on point when it comes to the subject of depression. Glad to see it.

Then again putting the fact that you tried to off yourself on blast for the entire stream to see is a pretty big red flag for attention seeking.
[QUOTE=Mister_Jack;50174772]Then again putting the fact that you tried to off yourself on blast for the entire stream to see is a pretty big red flag for attention seeking.[/QUOTE] God forbid people with suicidal tendencies seek attention. Do you hear yourself?
[QUOTE=Mister_Jack;50174772]Then again putting the fact that you tried to off yourself on blast for the entire stream to see is a pretty big red flag for attention seeking.[/QUOTE] It's pretty sad to see the education has failed so many on mental illnesses lmao like have you ever met a suicidal person before or what
[QUOTE=Mister_Jack;50174772]Then again putting the fact that you tried to off yourself on blast for the entire stream to see is a pretty big red flag for attention seeking.[/QUOTE] But he was speaking in past tense in one message? what the fuck? did you even do so much as skim the video?
I lost a friend of mine in December of 2013, and I still have a lot of unanswered questions. I didn't need to hear this self-entitled prick to try and answer them for him.
[QUOTE=Mister_Jack;50174772]Then again putting the fact that you tried to off yourself on blast for the entire stream to see is a pretty big red flag for attention seeking.[/QUOTE] Yeah man venting your feelings towards somebody you look up to is fucking stupid right? Jesus Christ do some of you people even leave the computer screen and go outdoors and communicate with other human beings?
[QUOTE=darth-veger;50166739][media]https://twitter.com/juiceDiem/status/722138273880137728[/media] Its like saying "Yeah just sleep off the depression and it will go away eventually."[/QUOTE] this isn't wrong though there are people who treat it like a trophy or a character trait, rather than acknowledging it as an actual illness
To be honest, i don't think he'll be able to stream/cast without this massive fuckup popping up in the chat.
[QUOTE=Fire Kracker;50176088]this isn't wrong though there are people who treat it like a trophy or a character trait, rather than acknowledging it as an actual illness[/QUOTE] what most frustrates me are when people make and share depression memes and share pictures where the punchline is either "i'm garbage" or "my life is meaningless". it just feel like it turns it into some big joke while simultaneously normalizing it, changing it from the mental illness it is to just how people are supposed to be. it encourages the unhealthy mindset further and only serves to push people further into the hopelessness of depression, no matter how much they relate to them.
[QUOTE=Fire Kracker;50176088]this isn't wrong though there are people who treat it like a trophy or a character trait, rather than acknowledging it as an actual illness[/QUOTE] People who treat their "Depression" as a trophy or trait with pride, it isn't depression, it's the exact same as the people who flaunt how "Anxious" they feel and how they always suffer from "Anxiety." It's not a competition, it's not a fucking talking piece. Real Depression, real Anxiety is crippling, it ruins peoples lives to the point where they LITERALLY feel that their only worth is dead, and as proven by statistic, a lot of people end up actually taking their own lives because of that. You don't sit around a table and start flaunting just how depressed you've been and how anxious you are.

I've had times where I'm at my lowest, truly ready to give up, but I was ashamed of being sad, of being depressed, and I was afraid of letting people know, so I acted the exact opposite and was fine and happy on the outside. I never understood the people who wear it on their sleeves for attention. They aren't going through what I went through.
fighting depression is a 24 hour job. you can't just work on it with your therapist, you have to constantly be working to rewire your brain to think more positively which is hard as balls. it is even more difficult when you surround yourself with depressive ideas and imagery you are actively working against yourself. by agreeing and identifying with those ideas, you're deriving positive feelings from the idea that you are garbage and worthless, strengthening those neural pathways, and now you've got a positive feedback loop with depressive ideas. it is difficult separating from those jokes and memes, i know, they're some of the little pleasure you get in life and when you're depressed you hold on to what you can. but sometimes it is better to break off from those influences, at least it was for me. i was heavily into twitter and found myself surrounded by a lot of people just as depressed as i was. the main topic of joking was anything from small jokes about being garbage to shit that could be straight up suicidal ideation. i was at my lowest when i was in my heaviest use, but i felt at home since everyone else felt the same as i did. one day. i was able to summon the strength to delete twitter from my phone. for a good while it made my life even more difficult, as i was removing myself from people i had come to know as friends. i was able to hold on through that, and eventually i found it was easier to think positively when not surrounded by people who felt just as hopeless as i did. i still go back there and post occasionally, but i do so with trepidation because i can just feel that if i stay there for too long i will begin to backslide. of course, depression is a very personal affair that is different to everyone
[QUOTE=Fire Kracker;50176088]this isn't wrong though there are people who treat it like a trophy or a character trait, rather than acknowledging it as an actual illness[/QUOTE] too bad thats not what this person who donated to the stream said. he literally said all of like 2 sentences, and they probably took a lot of courage (and likely there was a catharsis about opening up on what he felt like was a safe space) this streamer cunt then just assumed whatever he wanted about the person and went off on a horrible and offensive tirade.
[QUOTE=FunnyStarRunner;50163613]I will never understand the "suicide is selfish" mentality. If somebody wants/wanted to die then don't go calling them a stupid asshole; that just makes thing worse.[/QUOTE] I hate the suicide is selfish argument "Yeah you're absolutely miserable to such a crippling degree that you want to commit suicide, but what about how I'D feel? You're selfish!" like do people who spout this just lack any self awareness about how [I]actually[/I] selfish they're being
Why in honest fuck are some people on this thread trying to delude themselves that depression is easy as fuck to fix?
