Deviation Actions
Hi everyone, as you may have realized I'm very involved in my college including speaking about mental health during each year's Mental Health Awareness Week. This time, I wanted to ask you all what you think people who do NOT suffer from depression have a hard time understanding or are quick to judge about those who do have some sort of depressive disorder. NOTE: Please ONLY answer this if you have been diagnosed with some sort of depressive disorder!!! Example, if you are bipolar, EVEN THOUGH you have your depressive states but are not diagnosed with a depressive disorder such as major depression or chronic depression, please do NOT answer this. I will be taking the top 10 responses and will be answering them in my speech at my college to try to bring some awareness and understanding to the illness. I'm going to be going on several social media sites to try to collect answers so the top 10 answers from all sites put together will be discussed. Thank you so much!! 
Hugs to all! 
Hugs to all!

Pick me up Jar
I have an idea for a product to sell. It's a "pick me up" jar. It would be a mason jar filled with small scrolls with unique messages. Each message would be something to help make you feel better. They would probably be focused on mental illness and dealing with difficult times. They could possibly be two separate ones. What do you think of this idea? Would you buy it? How could you improve it? How much should be in each mason jar? How much would you pay? If you have anything that might help please say so.
Help me make my suicidal best friend happier!
Recently my best friend attempted suicide. She has been having trouble seeing the good in the world so I figured if everyone drew her one beautiful, cute, happy thing, that I could print them off and put them in a little book for her to have with her in the hospital and for when she gets out so that she can remember some of the good things in life!
I will put all the entries here mercyalters.deviantart.com/fav…
For every piece of art you put in your name will be entered into a draw for 1 month premium membership since that's all I can afford :P
If anyone wants to donate anything for my friend or as prize for the contest just note me!
Feeling down?

When I first told my parents that I wanted therapy, my father's first reaction was "Why? You live in a decent house with two loving parents and financial stability. What do you have to complain about besides the weekend chores?"
So basically, the most prominent thing I notice is when others forget that it's a genetically inherited chemical imbalance that I can't help and they get offended that I don't think my life is "perfect" enough as is.

(Luckily the genetics came from my mother so she was more understanding)
