Hate cures depression

Hate helps me overcome the horrors of reality and my hopeless situation. I have about ten people to blame for all of my problems.

    I see what you're saying, and I understand, but being hateful doesn't cure your depression, it just masks your pain. I'm sure that there are people who have hurt you severely, and caused you grave emotional, and possibly even physical pain, but as much as you want to be you are not entirely blameless for your situation in life, none of us are.

    It may seem counterintuitive, but believing yourself to be blameless just tends to reinforce whatever victim mentality you might already have, and perpetuate an attitude of helplessness. I'm not saying that you haven't been a victim in your life, but victims can also be survivors. Lots of us are victims of things in this life, but we are also survivors. Adopting an über hateful attitude isn't much different than when people mask their pain with addictions to things like alcohol, drugs, sex, food, gambling, workaholism, etcetera. Underneath it all you are still hurting, and still mentally, and emotionally unwell.

    I highly suggest that you see a professional therapist, and maybe even get screened for a personality disorder. You need to seek treatment for whatever depression, and or anxiety you have instead of trying to cover it up with other things. Cognitive behavioral therapy, and possibly even some medications can be a great deal of help to you if you are willing to try.

    Unfortunately it's normal for people to blame everyone but themselves for things in their life. It's not healthy and will only lead to a lonely place.

    As you get older you will realize no one is at fault but you. You control you. One day you'll know what that means.

    No, it doesn't. That's like saying ignorance cures depression. You know what does? Balance. Hate isn't balanced. In fact, it only adds to your problems.

    It's called a defense mechanism, it's used by the weak minded who are too lazy or too fearful to change. It just proves you no better than them.

    If someone is worthy of being HATED,then it's a waste of your own life doing so. They will not change but you can.

    You have exactly ONE person to blame for all your problems. Until you realize that you'll be a pox.

    I think in psychology I learned there was a name for this. I think it was sublimation.

  • Do you usually point fingers at everyone for your problems? Hate can’t cure an illness. I can’t hate my genes and feel better, or hate those who have brought out my depression more and feel better in life. Avoiding those who bring you down should be enough to block out some potential problems but I can’t see how hating people made you have a cure for depression. So you hate people in order to block out reality of the world? Sure sounds healthy, so is holding grudges for periods of time.

      Yeah just a band aid. Not addressing the real issue.
