8bit-blog replied to your post: I’ve been depressed for all of what I remember of…

Oh perhaps you’ve never been depressed, and you just don’t know being sad is quite normal for a teenager

no

just no

I’m depressed and I have anxiety

I’m seeing a psychologist

that is NOT what you say

saying someone’s problems don’t exist is a number one no-no 

just for future reference

Oh. Hell. To. The. Naw.

Don’t tell someone that they aren’t depressed because they’re “just a teenager”. Teenagers get depressed just as much as older people, it’s just that society downplays teenage depression so much that it is simply overlooked. If we took teenage depression more seriously as a society, then perhaps people wouldn’t resort to saying, “You’re a teenager so you can’t be depressed, you’re merely sad so get over it because that’s part of being a teenager”.
