I know this reply is super late but I just now saw this and it's something I still wonder about.
Why do people "gatekeep" depression like this? "Oh you don't care enough to hate yourself? Wow it must be cool to have never experienced depression" umm ok? I guess the feelings of wanting to be hurt or dead because I feel so disgusting and ashamed of my constant failures was just fucking bullshit because I'm not as depressed as someone else.
And this is exactly why I do not care about myself anymore. Because no one else does. unless you have the freedom to cut yourself or attempt suicide or something you don't actually have depression. So I've moved onto something else to distract from the negative thoughts. Only live to serve, because who gives a shit about my stupid feelings.
I want to become a good person but the advice online is bs.
