'Boo hoo my life sucks' ". He made it sound as if Depression and being depressed were the same thing. As if people with Depression seek chronic sadness to get attention. The ignorance was astounding.
This is mostly the attitude I've received throughout the years. Either "boo hoo, a lot of people have it worse than you so grow up" or, "she just does it for attention."

It really shits me because I don't want to be the way I am and attention is the last thing I want in these circumstances.
