Save People With Depression - Stop The Social Stigma

Sponsored by:
I am not a doctor, nor someone with any particular expertise. I'm simply a person who knows what he feels, and like anyone, someone who hopes they can make a difference.
I myself suffer from depression, and am taking steps to a solution, building bonds with myself I never thought I would make. You don't have to compromise yourself, or become a zombie to make the difference with yourself or for someone else. Its the hardest thing I've ever faced, but I'm glad that I'm doing what I need to.
I'm not here to tell you the facts about depression. A single Google search will give you more than you'll know what to do with. I'm here to do my feeble part in trying to get people who think they have the symptoms to go out and try to get treatment. However you approach it, its ultimately something that hurts your entire life, and you'd be fooling yourself if you want to deal with it alone.
Sign this petition if you want people who have/wonder if they have depression, to take the steps to a more fulfilling life, promising if they come to you, you will treat them with the same noble level of respect you would any other human being, to stop the social stigma surrounding depression.
Or sign this petition because you know you're a sufferer, and promise to continue progress through pursuing your options.
Those who are reluctant about a solution, don't worry; we're behind you.
The worlds a confusing place, but it only gets brighter once we try to work together. We can make a mark.

We the undersigned believe in a world where depression sufferers can be treated, and should not feel a need to hesitate or refuse a solution they desire. We believe every person has the right and capability to live happily within life, regardless of a painful past.
Depression needs to be dealt with; and any sufferer can find a solution and discover the strength within them, regardless the adversity.
With love and respect,
Depression needs to be dealt with; and any sufferer can find a solution and discover the strength within them, regardless the adversity.
With love and respect,

I BELEIVE THAT DEPRESSION IS A HUMAN EMOTION OR A SENSE WHICH IS REQUIRED TO SEND MESSAGES TO THE HUMAN PSYCHE THAT SOMETHING IS WRONG IN OUR LIVES. IN A STATE OF NATURE, ONCE WE RECOGNISE THIS, WE ACT TO SOLVE OR CHANGE THE PROBLEM AND DEPRESSION CEASES UNTRIL IT EMERGES AGAIN TO INFORM OUR SENSES OF THE NEXT PROBLEM. UNFORTUNATELY IN MOST WESTERN SOCIETIES, PARTICULARLY OUR SUPERFICIAL CAPITALISTIC ONE - WE ARE OFTEN INDOCTINATED FROM BIRTH TO BELIEVE WE HAVE TO BE BRIGHT AND BUBBLY AT ALL TIMES IN ORDER TO BE LIKED AND ACCEPTED BY ANNYONE. WHY? PERHAPS IT IS THE ONLY WAY A SO CALLED 'CIVILISED SOCIETY' HAS OF MANAGING US. DEPRESSION AS A NO NO, A STIGMA, IS AN ATTITUDE WHICH SERVES TO INCREASE LEVELS OF DEPRESSION IN THOSE OF US WHO ARE UNABLE TO DENY OR SURPRESS OUR NATURAL FEELINGS AND ACT AS THOUGH WE ARE IMMUNE TO THE ATROCIOUS ACTS WHICH OCCUR AROUND US ON A DAILY BASIS IN THE WORLD. HUMANITY EXISTS IN A REALITY OF DARK AND LIGHT AND SEVERAL SHADES IN BETWEEN e.g. ACTS OF INCREDIBLE SELFLESSNESS/INCREDIBLE CRUELTY, /LOVE/HATE, HAVE/HAVE NOTS. DEPRESSION IS AN INDICATOR, A WITNESS TO INJUSTICE IN THE INDIVIDUAL WORLD AND ALSO THE BIGGER PICTURE. HAVING TO SURPRESS DEPRESSION OFTEN COMPOUNDS IT AND CAUSES IT TO SOAR AND BECOME UNMANAGABLE AND HENCE NEEDING INVASIVE TREATMENT. PUBLIC AWARENESS NEEDS TO BE RAISED ABOUT THE ORIGINS OF DEPRESSION AND HOW IT HAS BEEN NECESSARY IN HUMAN EVOLUTION AS AN INDICATOR THAT THINGS ARE NOT AS THEY SHOULD BE - AWARENESS OF DANGER - A SRVIVAL TOOL OF OUR SPECIES. I AM AWARE THAT THERE ARE SEVERAL LEVELS OF DEPRESSION AND THEREFORE I HAVE ONLY WRITTEN FROM MY OWN EXPERIENCE AS I AM NOT QUALIFIED TO SPEAK ON BEHALF OF ANYONE ELSE.

I am a life-long sufferer of major depressive disorder. More information needs to be made available to the general public concerning serotonin and neuroepinephrine shortages within the brain chemistry that cause Depression. It IS a PHYSICAL illness!

Much mental illness is caused by poor sleep. You can improve sleep patterns and length by using an oil burner to heat salt water in your bedroom at night. It is like sleeping at the seaside when the wind is coming in from the sea.

I myself was diagnosed with being bipolar type one about 14 years ago.My symptoms started as young as 2 and I was in therapy by age 7 which also accompanied my first of many suiside attempts and letters.By the age of 13 I first began recieving medication and was officially diagnosed bipolar by 16.I have lost many things and people in my life due to the strains of this illness.I am young yet,still surviving and coping everyday , I even went as far as to have an experimental surgery for my illness called VNS ( Vegal Nerve Stimulation) sadly it did not work for me.I am non responsive to all (yes) medications I have tried and in a span of 14 years Iv'e done them all even patches!My point is that even though my history is so long and involved .... I WANT EVERY SINGLE PERSON OUT THERE TO KNOW .... YOU ARE WORTHY OF HAPPINESS< THESE ILLNESES MUST BE DISCUSSED IN ORDER TO BE HONESTLY UNDERSTOOD< WE MUST CONTINUE TO EDUCATE< WE ARE ALL JUST LIKE YOU. I SEEK LOVE , UNDERSTANDING , KINDNESS AND COMPASSION AND I'm SURE YOU ALL DO TO. LET'S COME TOGETHER AND LEARN! YOU HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE AND ONLY INTELLIGENCE AND SELF AWARENESS TO GAIN! PEACE AND LOVE TO ALL!!!!

I suffer from a depression too, and I'm constantly fighting to become stronger and heal myself. I hope that others in the same situation will try to do the same - it's worth the effort a hundred times over. Don't give up! :)
