For those of you who have overcome depression, do you have empathy

Yeah

It's hard to deal with depression so I have sympathy for them

Yes. It's something real, but normies will claim that they're happy based on "hard work."

i find it super hard to relate with people suffering with depression after (temporarily) getting rid of it

i got to understand the >be yourself meme a bit more now

it's like having terrible stomach ache but a day or two later you forget about the pain completely and you just eat some crappy food again without caring about consequences

To some its like chronic stomach pain without eating anything

Met this girl a while back who claimed she had overcome depression. I made the mistake of telling her about my depression, and she told me it was my fault and that I should man up.

Of course
I cant get by a hurdle and then deny its existence
The people who can are mentally stronger than I

Not if they're normies. It usually turns out their depression is very minor. The few times I've talked with one about it, after hearing them mope constantly, they just sort of coil back in awkward disgust when they realize how bad mine is in comparison

either i don't get what you meant or you missed the point completely

>>36545115
No i don't though maybe that comes out of a deeper self loathing or maybe it's because I hope that in my humor one person will call me out on it and find out what I've been going through. Maybe I'm just an awful person.

I dunno, ssris fucked with my capacity for empathy.
I'd like to think that i'd could help those in worse places than i was in, but i know that when you're in that state you can't really be helped.

If you overcome your depression it wasn't real depression desu
