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.

What the stamp says is so true. Another aspect on depression: if someone treats you bad you should react with anger, not towards the person but what he or she has done to you, set your limits, expect the respect youre entitled to. Depression is just anger directed inwards to yourself instead of outwards where it belongs. If youre not strong enough to put the blame where it belongs and become depressed, forgive yourself, let depression take its time and when youre strong enough again continue pointing the reason for it back where it belongs.

I don't agree fully; u see some people (like a friend of mine) r not happy with who they are and r depressed because they believe they will be rejected or they r being rejected normally this is by some one who has the same issue, this can sometimes be mental abuse too; unfortunately those people r only focusing on those specific people and not who they should be focusing on, sometimes this can be true for them;Then there r people who are either mental abused, physically abused, or both and sometimes this is true for them and other times not so much, you see; it's all circumstantial.
No one has to agree with me and u can hide this comment if u want but, this is my opinion and if anyone who reads this would consider this and not leave nasty little replies, they might find some truth somewhere.
thank u

SO TRUE.
I hate it when people tell me to "toughen up. Suck it up and move on."
I went through abusive foster parents and druggie parents. I was abandoned a number of times. And you know what, unlike most kids who think they deserve to be huge asses to the world because of all the shit they go through, I sucked it up and I make myself happy.
But little things make me crack due to the depression my granma doesn't believe I have because of how happy I am.
Like when my friends call me a huge flirt, it hurts my feelings and makes me think badly of myself. I never think of myself as a flirt r of ever really flirting with people, cause even if I think they're cute and go talk to them, I'm not interested in relationships.
I've been strong for so long little things just make me crack.

I've seen this before.. And, the part about it's where you've been strong for too long- I always had to replace it with: Putting on a smile, trying to pretend everything is fine, hiding things..
It all comes crashing down when it gets too much..
But, it is something people need to understand..

I do. I am like that every day.

...Wow, I never thought of it that way. I apparently have depression, but it only gets to me occassionally.

I had never heard this before and feel that it is very true considering all of the things I have gone through and didn't start to suffer from depression until 2008
Awesome stamp

This stamp is very true. I suffer from bi-polar depression and seeing that there are people out there that understand what it's like just makes me feel better. Thank you for making this stamp.

It's funny. I didn't even click on this, but amongst the deviations, I saw this...And the instant I read it, I cried. (Which isn't easy to accomplish)
I know that according to your description box, the general idea wasn't yours', but thank you. Thank you for making this a stamp and letting me see. I don't believe I'm strong, but it feels nice to hear that I'm not weak. Thank you.

this is so true. i'm crying here at my computer because its just... this is really what it feels like for me. i just feel so hurt and alone and anrgy all the time and i cant make myself tell anyone so it all just stays inside. at the worst moments, when a fake smile can't hide it anymore, i breakdown and cry, but then tell everyone i'm fine and that's more pain to hide behind the smile. thank you so much. this really means alot to me

...this hits home for me. I just tried to deal with my depression for so long, that it just broke me down until nothing could make me happy anymore and I would rather die than face another day.

This is a strong and powerful message here.
Alot of us feel weak due to having this condition. And it's a hard battle we are constantly fighting. Alot of days I wish to stay curled up in bed and sleep my life away.
Sometimes it feels like another world as you are dreaming while the real world is going forward. It's an escape from reality. And I find myself doing it way too often. I feel like my life hasn't gone anywhere since highschool, and thinking about it depresses me.
And it's a root that is hard to dig out and escape, and we wish it would end or we wish that we were normal like some of the other people.
Also with depression might come the lack of self-esteem, this is also something hard to overcome as I am still battling it.
I'm very different from my brother and sisters. They didn't have this horrible demon that they had to fight all the time. And those normal people would never understand why a depressed person is acting they way they do or say the things the things they say.
And if you like me, had to endure these type if people who would be always belittle you, then you know how it feels.
I ask God numerous times, asking him why didn't he give me a brain that's NORMAL like my brother and sisters'?
Maybe he gave it to me to uplift and help people who have this same disorder.

I like how you emphasized the words "depression" "weak" and "strong"

Depression is for two reasons.
1. Because of exactly what this stamp saids. Its very true.
And 2. Because of what the person named Spat500 below said.
But one of the strongest reasons is what you said in the stamp.

I kind of disagree with this, but on the other hand depression means you have VERY low self-esteem and kinda hate things about yourself and etc. Of course it does not mean you are weak.
But good word on this

For a second I thought it said "depression is not for the strong" but thankfully my eyes corrected me before my blood began boiling. xD
Agree, so much. This is really sweet.

We're just very tired, it has nothing to do with how strong or weak we are.

I feel far too understood for words, really. At school, I'm the girl who everyone is scared of because they think I'm scary and strong, but I'm really falling apart.
I can't thank you enough for making this, really. I truly, strongly feel like I finally see someone who gets it. Honestly, I'm crying right now. Thank-you... Just, thank-you.

you know.. not to make anothe comment here, but i think alot of people here miss the whole idea of what depression is.... there are many forms to and untill you experience them all you have no way to know how it feels.. clinical depression, just cause you maby are weak and want pitty, or for those whom it isn't clinical depression but are depresses just due to circumstances in your life... they all feel the same regardless.... depression is depression..
I for one have suffered from depression for many years.. Not clinical depression caused by imbalances, but due to things i've had to deal with for most of my life.. And its not to be confused with wanting pity from others, in fact almost no one even knows what goes on in my life except for a selct few good friends, and as far as the rest are concerned mine is like everyone elses and all great....
i know its maby not the most accurate description of depression, as it is a complicated subject to understand as it comes in many forms, but its a very big part of it..
