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.

One time my friend made fun of depression next to me, apparently he didn't know that I had it. That was a very uncomfortable moment haha. I love this stamp, I honestly don't agree that depressed people are stronger, but I know they aren't weak. Keep up the good work

Depression is a chemical imbalance in your brain, and it's a serious medical condition. It has nothing to do with being strong or weak. Clinic depression actually means that you can feel depressed for absolutely no reason. I have it. It's really annoying.

There is a difference between clinical depression and just wallowing in your misery because you want to be the victim or you want attention or whatever.

If you have only experienced clinical depression then you might see it that way (which I had not actually ever heard of, gonna look it up) Tho it is not that people with 'reasons' who are "wallowing in their own misery" are doing so because they 'want' nor 'like' it. Well... maybe some do. Cant speak for everyone...

Anyone else getting really tired of all the opinion stamps on dA?

That's almost what stamps are for in a sense. That's why I make them at least. Stamps are perfect for anything from clever little anecdotes to something as serious or opinionated as something like abortion.

At first I had to agree with the critique up above, it appears a little cramped at least on the first part of the phrase. However, I have been thinking of it and I don't really know how you would break that up. "Depression is because you've... been Strong for two long" Is one option but that puts a rather long game break. One way I think would be nice is just to say "Depression is not because you are weak... it is because you've been STRONG for too long." It would also make a definite beginning and end to the stamp as well. I can't tell if that is actually how the statement was said or how open the person would be to making that change. I understand it is a heartfelt topic so they may wish to just keep it as is, and I can respect that. Oh well there is my little thought... sorry it is so long.

Oh my goodness, THANK YOU!
Some people wouldn't understand because they either never had depression or it was just mild and easily curable. People who say "depression is curable for everyone, you just have to think positive" are ignorant. They have no idea there are different kinds of depression but I wrote a list out on my poem I wrote a while back [link] . Some depressions, such as mine, are from years and years of abuse (sexually, emotionally, physically) and takes a long time to heal, especially after you go through a trial and your problem is now open to the public and then you get abused some more for it being public.
Only those who have felt this kind of depression would understand the full message of this stamp. Others can not even comprehend the message and will say it's stupid. I am glad I have the friends I do who at least try to understand even though they never felt my depression.

Could I use this quote in a picture please? It's wonderful.

This is too true... thank you so much. I'm sick of people calling me weak and saying I need to be stronger because I've falling into a dark place.
What I've been struggling with has been going on as a mental battle in my head for such a long time... its not my fault I'm starting to snap...
This stamp reflects me perfectly.

In my opinion there are too many different fonts included, especially the STRONG is hard to read and the too is italic, which doesnt seem to fit the concept.

I like the fade out of the words, but I don't quite like how the words "pop" in. If was a fade in/fade out deal it'd be better.

You typography needs work. You shouldn't stretch the words it hurts the over all work. I like the message.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
I agree, but I see it two ways...
In a world of survival, depression is a sign of weakness.
In a world of understanding, depression can hit anyone and is not a sign of weakness.

First part is true.
Second part isn't.

Bullshit. That's all I've got to say. Doesn't deserve anything else.

Well not really. I used to have mild depression in my early teens, but that was because I had NO confidence. As I grew up though I learnt a lot and managed to get my confidence back. My problems now are worse if not the same as I had back then but I'm not depressed anymore, I am much happier. Just something to think about.

i used to have a minor depression, i used to cry for no reason sometimes. my friends started to worry when i questioned them why they invited me to hang out. that feeling of them wanting and needing me have a good time made me feel better so i took on this new personality! ~nya!!

people who commit suicide, do drugs, drink alcohol, whine every freaking day, run away from home to face depression are the weak ones.
people who wake up everyday knowing that they'll just wake up to the same crap and are still willing to live and do something about it are the strong ones.
