is depression a white people problem?
- Thread starter yo moms
- Start date
this is a legit topic of discussion.
We've had this discussion at least twice since I've been on this account.
There was a SOHH thread saying depression is a white person problem and nikkas shouldn't be depressed.
As an alcoholic, you and your friends are probably suffering from it. I think it goes unacknowledged. I think its prevalent 'phase' amongst teens heading into adulthood. You begin to see how "big" the world is and it overwhelms you. Your mind shut in or shuts down until it can find a way to make sense of the world and your place in it. Or you don't and it haunts you well into adulthood. Self destructive behavior is a symptom of depression, I believe. It's more common than you think. I've suffered from it.
I dropped this in the last depression thread.

Idk if trolling or sarcasm or if you've had a good ass life so far, if so then
.I got depression I haven't been clinically diagnosed or that other weak bull, all I know is that sometimes I gotta relax and take a drink sometimes and battle inside to keep the weak shyt from tryna take over
.It's all good though, anyone who has serious depression and has lived long enough to learn from it knows that you gotta put on some steel armour or else you start snappin' on fools tryna bring you down to a lower level.
In my eyes depression is just an annoying little fakkit.

Is it possible to have depression but be ambitious at the same time? Do ambitious people get depressed? People with goals aka direction?

The truth is that alot of us are depressed and we don't even know it and we don't seek treatment for it, the hood is filled with black men suffering from symptoms of depression.
Yeah I witnessed my own father go through it, and I think it's also carried by each generation. We carry that pain that our ancestors went through during slavery and we've never been given the proper tools to deal with it. We're just resilient as a people, we hide it real well, and we just keep on going on with life until it eventually catches up to us.
You should be celebrating life. Not doing a whole bunch of wreckless shyt out of fear. You still boxing? A fighter needs to fight or his shadow (depression) will beat him.
My ambitions depressed me in a way. Something you don't think your going to make it or pull it off. But it's also what kept me from going too far into depression, I had something practical to keep me focused. Depression is like a mask or a demon over your shoulders. For me, it struck when I felt I wasn't going anywhere, or that I wasn't accomplishing my goals or when I thought my goals were achievable. But after awhile your too busy doing what your supposed to be doing to slow down and think about that.
i celebrate by getting fukked up on a regular basis.
my last fight was about 3 weeks ago. i was meant to be fighting tonight but i pulled out because i got arrested and shyt.
Yeah, most people whom have goals that they try to reach for and can't get it start to doubt theirselves and think 'maybe I'm not good enough' and can get extremely close to giving up. Then they have to use an emotional crutch so they won't fall any farther. Yet all I know is, when you're hungry enough the depression won't stop you. Nothing can stop a lion tryna survive and just eat.
Example: I knew a dude named JoJo who been living on the streets since he was 15, he's about 23 now. He's been flipping items of value for a long time and finally caught a break when he hit 50k last year. He was mad depressed though, first time I have ever seen a black dude cry in person before.

Scust. Your discipline is weaker than your body. You lost a fight because you can't control yourself. C'mon, breh. Your better than this. You should be celebrating a win right now.
Think about THE LIFESTYLE (We need to bring this back)
Think about being a boxer/mechanic getting gwop, getting bytches, winning fights and drinking champagne just to celebrate Tuesday. We street rats, riff raff. Whatever GTA life your living in your head is meant to get you into the system. Someone got paid off your arrest. We can't afford lawyers. We can't afford to buy into that. We lowlifes deserve the highlife.
I'm 22, just about to start in my first tattoo shop. If I had the mind to just sit down and draw instead of fukking escorts, buying waste 240's, and eating my money away, I'd have everything I wanted at 18 right now. Trust me I'm about to be eating off tattoo money and bytches, get back into martial arts, buy a Skyline and be celebrating Mondays in Vancity.
I tell you this so you can be ahead of me by time your my age. Patience young Padawan.

Of course there are depressed black people. In fact we probably have higher rates compared to other races because of all the crap that we have to deal with. However, the topic of mental health and psychiatric issues isn't given enough attention in our community.
