Description
I saw this in the Group Description of #Depression-victims and asked if I could make it into a Stamp, and was given permission to do so.For
GIMP 2.6.11
Edit:
If you have something to say, please limit it to critique on the stamp itself, not the message behind it. I have no associating with the Group, I simply thought it was a nice statement and converted it into a stamp.

So true...
I've been bullied most of my school life and one year it got to be really bad. Living hell. Not just verbal bully but also mental and emotional, neglect from my peers and physical bullying...from many students from three whole year groups, my peers and the two years above me.
I was already being verbally bullied and neglected by my peers anyway but they started bullying my friend severely first and I refused to leave her so they targeted me too.
That whole year and the next (in which I was still bullied but by that second year it was back to a level I could handle and was used to) I didn't get depression. I didn't crack under the pressure. I refused to change, refused to leave my friend and stayed strong.
No, it was two years after that year of hell that I cracked. I was still being bullied but not as severely. In fact the bullying was actually going down for the first time since it started all the way back in year 3. So I really had no reason to crack-no extra bullying triggered it. Life was actually starting to get pretty good.
I guess the reason I finally cracked was because it was all finally over so there was no reason to be strong anymore. All the bad feelings caught up with me now that things had finally calmed down. At first I was relieved it was over but then I started to fall into depression as all that had happened caught up with me.
I guess its like soldiers in a warzone. At the time they at running on adrenalin and everything is moving too fast for them to stop and mourn properly. Then when its finally over or when they're returned home it all catches up with them and then they really begin to mourn and some/many might get PTSD.
Weird comparison I know but to me the bullying was my war and it was in the aftermath that the emotions finally impacted.

True, I mask my unhappiness for as long as I can. It's just that one time when the mask cracks and falls and I'll have to get a new one. The only obstacle is to not be seen. Fortunately, no one sees me, unfortunately, the new mask takes too long...

This is so true to me, it fucking hurts. For so long, I was always the one with the smile on my face. Greeting everyone, just one of the, "Sweetest people I've ever met!". Then events and death added up, and my mask finally began to crack. It was almost comical, their surprise, when I finally broke down during a class. everyone was so taken aback, they just kinda pushed me away.

Ehh, don't really get that. But I went through a rather bad depression when I was at least 7-10. Depressions are serious, and they're not for "emos". -_-

I love this stamp ^^ People think those that cry easily or get emotional/sensitive are weak, but that's not true at all. I'm a pretty sensitive person; people see me as cold or mean looking sometimes, but they just need to get to know me more 
I lost my grandpa in 1998, my month old sister after that, and then my great-grandma when I was a sophomore in highschool...it hurt a lot using them, I tried to not cry about it but sometimes I do feel sad about it...I miss them a lot.
If you want to cry; cry, don't be afraid too. I hate crying in front of people though, because I do feel weak in a way if I cry

This stamp is sadly true. My older sister died of breast cancer in January of 2010 and I was the "strong one" in the family for a solid year until I just couldn't do it anymore. I've been battling depression ever since and just started on wellbutrin last week to try and get back in a better frame of mind.

I have depression myself... and for so long goddamn... that I ended up being physically ill.
But I never tried to kill myself because I know that I would destroy my family if I did. And deep inside, I guess I STILL have this silly hope that things will get better one day. I'm such a pessimist but I still have this hope that keeps me from drowning completely. Maybe that's some sort of inner strengh, in a way.
Anyway, this is a beautiful way to view things, in contrast to all those people who look down on us for having depression (to them, we're just lazy).

That is exactly how I feel. I guess I still have that silly hope to. People just don't understand nowadays.

I got diagnosed with major depression about a week ago, and this is pretty much exactly what my psychologist told me, on a scientific level. That ever since I was little my brain was pretty much taxed so much it just can't produce the feel-good chemicals anymore. So this stamp is actually true.

Agreed completely. Why are people so blind?

As much as I dislike weak people, I hate it when people say only weak people get depression. Weak assholes are the one who fuck up people to the point when they just can't stand up anymore and collapse. Not much strength is required to break a person, only cowardice. This is a wonderful stamp you've made.
P.S. to all the flamers who might want to attack this comment: No, I don't have depression.
