What's Grinding Your Frilly Gears? Anonymous Thu Dec 19 20:07:46 2013 No.7249822 [DELETED]

What Lolita things are bothering you lately? Get it off your chest!

There's a new girl in my community, and she's absolutely insufferable. We're a really small community which is why it's hard to just ignore. She spent a lot of her first meetup warning people off Milanoo like we'd never heard of it, she keeps giving people online awful advice, and she doesn't even own any Lolita yet, she borrowed for the meet afaik.
It's petty and small, but it's a pain to have a newbie trying to school us about the fashion when we've all been into it for 4-7+ years.

The community is AWFUL at properly dealing with scammers. With such a (relatively) small group of people, you'd expect it to be easy to weed out the shitstains. You'd also expect people to be proactive due to the large sums of money being sent to and fro. But then people like Maikodolly and Marie from ODIP are allowed to continue participating in things with very little fallout or backlash. I wish lolitas would get more backbone and viciously ostracise the people who do harm.

In my experience, people like this usually calm down after a little longer in the fashion.

She has clearly done at least some research, and is likely trying to impress who she sees as senior community members by trying to look knowledgeable. Give her one or two meets and some time spent on cgl and she will likely start acting like a normal person.

I definitely feel you on this, though. I see this sort of thing (i.e. newbies thinking they know their shit) on tumblr all the time and it drives me up the wall, I would go absolutely batshit if I had to deal with that in person. Good luck to you and your comm, anon.

I really fucking hate it when people show up to lolita meets in normal clothes. If you don't have anything to wear DON'T COME. The whole idea of a lolita meetup is that we're all part of the same fashion, why the hell would you want to be involved if you don't even wear said fashion? For that matter, why would you want to be the one chick in jeans and a t-shirt surrounded by frilly freaks?

My gears are grinding over the way I still expect dresses to look like the stock picture once they're on my body, with perfect lines and not a single wrinkle of any kind.
But of course it's never going to actually fit like that because human bodies aren't dress forms. I know this and yet I am always sad about it.

I think it depends on the context of the meet.
I'm in the Philadelphia group, sometimes people who are just interested in the fashion come and I've only seen that at very public meets (like at parades, festivals and things)
If it's a meet to a special tea house or very thematic location I think it's in poor taste to come in jeans and a tshirt.
If I was a lone lolita I might feel weird about going to meet strangers alone and afraid of what the other lolitas might be like, I'd consider not dressing up to get a feel for the people who go and at least if you didn't like it you could leave.

There were 2 girls who wanted to go to my comm's ILD meet and not even dress up. Thankfully one didn't show, but the other did, she wore lolita, though she was ita as fuck, and rude to people who were curious about the fashion-but still quite respectful towards us- and late to boot.

I feel like in so many scammer cases, the moderation team royally fucks things up. Look at how they, back in the day, at least one mod stood up for bellebete ven though he was almost a YEAR behind his initial orders and had been giving excuse after excuse after excuse. Look at how wonderfinch said she had "sources" which proved maikodolly's scam was just a mistake.

Shit, look at what milkteamilk just said re: Yunni and Marie. Apparently, lying about traveling expenses, wearing customer's clothing, shipping late, not placing orders that they were obligated to place, threatening people with legal action for posting honest negative reviews, telling people they don't have to be refunded, reporting them to Paypal for wanting refunds, etc... is "attitude."

Yunni was pulling this shit as early as the beginning of 2013, and *the mods knew about it* yet did nothing. And shock and surprise, she's continued to do it. And I know ODIP has been talked about before. Yet they are doing nothing. They were quick to jump on rosaire--rightfully, if they have decided they are going to take action against people even if they aren't using egl_comm_sales for their service--but absolutely nothing for these people who have used egl & egl_comm_sales to advertise and promote.

When you're at a meet and some one borrows your camera claiming they're going to take outfit shots of everyone, only to have it brought back to you with 50+ selfies inside of them posing with food and drink.

People bringing their friends/boyfriends/siblings to meets is annoying as well if they don't know anything about lolita. Especially when it's a meet where only x amount of people can go. It's annoying to know you couldn't meet up with friends so their boyfriend could play Candy Crush on his iPhone the entire time. I have no issue with people bringing people to introduce to the fashion (if their actually interested in it)

I personally think its uneducated newbies that do this.

this and the misuse of the word "weeaboo" really pisses me off.

"weeaboo" isn't that hard to look up
weeaboo doesn't just mean "anime fan"

a non-japanese person can like the culture, watch anime, speak the language and RESPECT THE CULTURE, while still keeping in touch with there own. Which keeps them from being a Weeaboo

a weeaboo is someone that likes anime to an unhealthy extent, while knowing little to nothing about actual japanese culture. they think japan is the "magical land of anime" and lets face it, its not.

I was invited to a mini meet, it was outdoors and had a huge hill to walk up. I tried dressing up but it was winter and I didn't own a single lolita item, it made me nervous and I read about people hating it so I asked around from people who were apart of the comm or were new and went through this as well. Everyone gave me positive feedback and said people are kind for the first meet but I should find a proper outfit for future meets.

Was it so horrible of me to go outside of Lolita on my first meet up?

Skeleton tights/socks.

I feel like they could work with a pastel goth or creepy/cute cord, but I always see them thrown on a sweet lolita who's trying to be "edgy" or something. They clearly don't go with your cord, and 9/10 times they're made really badly.

Yeah I'm wondering too. Anon only said she "dressed up" but didn't specify how, and also is insisting that everyone is two-faced and ignored her (even though, like most people who make this complaint, I doubt she made any real effort to start or participate in conversations, as evidenced by the one girl turning to talk to her and then turning away again once the topic switched, oh no, how unheard of) and to me, that immediately brought the big red "cosplay" flags up. In which case I would probably be more embarrassed for you than bitchy.

I have a problem with my ankles and when I walk they roll to the side, so I can't wear things with a heel bigger than one inch. It's not because I don't want to wear amazing and cute shoes, it's that my body is unable to.

There are other options between ballet flats and high heels. There's even a multitude of specifically lolita shoes that have very little/no heel, yet don't make you look like a stumpy duck.

Flats maaaybe can work in otome or mori, but lolita is just far too poofy and ornate to ever pull them off.

There is a girl in our local comm that is just getting on my every last nerve. She lies and boasts about everything, and talks about how she's the best of everything and knows it all, but doesn't know shit. She claims she was the head of the Toronto group, yet dresses like a hot ita mess, and had no idea what bodyline was. She claims Big Bang went to Anime North, and somehow no one but her recognized them, she boasts about how amazing she is at sewing, but then didn't know that she should simply move buttons over to make something a tad bigger.

I just want to say to her, I'm sure you are a lovely girl, just cut the bullshit and act like a normal human being. We don't care that you are new to the fashion, just that you dress half decent and are a nice person. Trying to impress us by lying only makes people not like you.

I rely on my boyfriend to take me to meet ups, because I'm a carless college student who lives an hour or so away from my comm's central area.

I think it would be really quite rude to have him drive me an hour both ways and then just leave him to do nothing in the middle of the shithole city that our comm meets up in.

So long as your partner dresses appropriately and isn't weird, I don't see why bringing them along is a problem. Then again, my boyfriend knows enough about the fashion/brands/comms etc. that he can crack jokes and follow conversation.

I'm not sure what's more awkward to me, ita messes or people in normal clothes. Ita messes of course looks worse than people in regular clothing but at least it's a step into the direction of lolita that they can then work on with help from the community. If someone shows up in jeans and a t-shirt because they're not confident with their coordination skills yet, people can't help them unless they ask very specific questions and even that doesn't go too far. Practice makes perfect, you know? Everyone needs to start somewhere, even if that somewhere is an ugly Milanoo disaster. At least that can be used as a specific example of what not to do.

My boyfriend's the same, although I guess it helps that he knows some girls in the comm since I'm good friends with them and I meet with them often casually.
I had my boyfriend stick around for a recent meet because I was feeling a bit shaky and my friends who know that I get a bit anxious weren't there and I didn't want to make a scene. It was all good though, he knows his frills and he's about as creepy as a duckling.

Old people that desperately try to fit in when lolita just makes them look creepy.

Don't get me wrong their are a few people in their thirties in my comm that are amazing. There are enough mature women in my comm so they fit in with out much of an issue. Not too mention that some of them have been following the fashion for over ten years (just trying to make it clear that I'm not talking about older lolita's in general).However there is one old guy that doesn't even show up wearing lolita. I wish he realised that an old man cross-dressing in Japanese street fashion makes the rest of us look like we're in some sort fetish club. Though he's nice and doesn't act creepy, he gives of the image of Mr Yan. There is another old lady who tries to fit in with the teens too much. She's like that kind of mom that tries to be besties with her daughters friends so she will start conversations about Twilight or boyfriends. She's an ero-lolita too, which makes it worse.

Laughing at all the posts getting defensive about their boyfriends. In the dozens of meets I've been to in multiple cities, I've only met one tag along boyfriend who wasn't dressed up actually make conversation with the group. Every other boyfriend is quiet the entire time and plays on his phone and the only person he talks to is the girlfriend he came with.

>"b-b-but mine is different!"

Nah sis, maybe you feel that way, but everyone else thinks he's a dweeb.

I think there are a lot of legitimate reasons for this. A lot of people are afraid of a poor turnout, a lot of people have an unreliable school/work schedule that might jeopardize their chance to attend their own meetup, they don't want to draw attention to themselves, the event requires a large down payment, etc. It's easy to organize a mall meetup or an art gallery meetup but the sorts of meetups that make people talk like >>7251176 usually involve organizational and planning skills, transportation, reliable schedules, money, confidence, and connections.

I think our whole comm is "different" that way, then. I started out bringing my (then-boyfriend, now-fiance) to meetups because I'm uncomfortable meeting a lot of new people at once. Now he comes with me because he's friends with the other boyfriends and husbands that come. They play their PSPs together and go to pubs and stuff while the lolitas do other things. We both like it because he gets to talk to his friends that he doesn't usually get to see otherwise, and I still have him there for comfort and social recharge.

As someone who usually hosts meets, I don't mind as long as I've been told ahead of time, and of course, it also depends on the exclusivity of the meet up. It's always nice when the lolita's SO has made the effort to look decent and behaves well (I'd want everyone to fill that expectation, really).

I actually prefer it if their SO dropped them off though. I'm fine with making conversation, but it takes off some pressure of meeting someone new.

The way so many in the community are slaves to brands when in fact (prior to the major labels, though given, inspired by high end designers) the fashion style sprang from self-made and thrifted items is saddening to see.

A girl in my comm is convinced she's going to become an internet famous lolita or an idol. She does embarrassing photoshoots and videos and gives advice on her blog even though her co-ords are fairly average sweet. She'll make a public embarrassment of herself and then complain when she gets posted to cgl or btb.

She'll say she wants to get into classic/gothic/country buy one piece, do a shit ton of photos and then immediately sell the piece.

Have you ever met a real lolita comm? My comm coos over Bodyline and indie all the time. /cgl/ is just bitchy because they take a small complaint and amplify it like 1000000x online. Not to mention that I've seen ~el burando~ criticized here as well - blurry prints, bad cuts, awful construction, you name it. Pretty much all the brands have been criticized here at one point or another.

the poor turnout can actually be a huge benefit to a meet, though, because then the group actually has time to chat and interact on a more personal level than listening to four different conversations and shouting about brand prints down a long table.
and yeah, it is stressful to organize a meetup, but it's not always so bad. sometimes it's as easy as "okay everyone is meeting here at this time", other times it's as difficult as "everyone has to prepay a deposit by this day, reservation is made by this day, gratuity for our group size will be this". it takes some social skills, sure, and probably ten or so minutes calling an actual human being, but usually it's not that hard. if people can't come on the time/day that the hostess set down, oh well.

Have you even been here before? We have indie and handmade threads on the regular. What makes us mad:
-"designers" putting things on the market without first building up enough skill or factory connection to put out a quality product
-simple pieces that require no skill or creativity going for brand prices
-designers who have no idea how to run a brand from a business standpoint and end up with delays, unfilled orders, rushed construction to keep up with demand, etc.
-designers who make a quality product for themselves and their friends but a poor product for paying customers
-seamstresses who have no idea how to design prints
-graphic designers who have no idea how to sew

There are plenty of indie brands who thrive but they put out high quality products that can compete with brand, rather than just assuming they can price their items the same because they see the prices on other things. A lot of the failing brands are delusional and think that it's an easy market and a free for all, they'll never get better because of themselves.

This so much. When I run an event with reservation-only place, I require full payment up front by a certain date with no refunds. Doesn't matter the excuse. If someone decides to turn up without a reservation, I turn them away. It sucks, but I usually give everyone plenty of time to RSVP and to pay. You don't pay or just show up? You will be turned away.

You need to lurk more in the right threads (and lol acquaintances). If you only go to drama threads, obviously that's all you're going to see.

In a real lolita community, we do take care of the newbies that are WILLING to learn. We give good criticism where it's warranted. We at least try once to help; if they don't want to accept, we're not going to do much about it. Of course, there are always exceptions in a community, but the majority of lolita aren't so stuck up like you make us to be.

During Halloween-time I work at an amusement park that features haunted mazes and whatnot, and I always ALWAYS see at least a few lolis come through my maze every year, usually not coordinated very well but sometimes they're wearing recognizable prints from Bodyline or something.
I guess it irks me because it's just so hilariously silly that these people would actually come to an amusement park to ride rollercoasters and walk through dusty haunted mazes in loli. My area is rather hot/humid even in the fall, and also my maze used water as special effects and it's very easy to get dirty or get a dress caught on a dusty old crate or something. I guess it's to be expected since it's mostly teenagers attempting gothic because ~halloween~ but still.

I wear Bodyline to amusement parks about 75% of the time I go (exception being if there's an attached waterpark or if it's WAY too hot). The reason you break out the lame BL stuff is exactly what you said- brand would get dirty.

I have yet to see someone wear Lolita as a Halloween 'costume', but I have had people at my boyfriends work ask me where I buy it because they wanted to 'dress as a baby' for Halloween. I just deadpanned and said "This dress was three-hundred and sixty dollars, actually. It would probably be better just to find something at Goodwill."

Force yourself, I'm serious. I have similar problems now and I just take a xanax when it gets bad, otherwise just grit your teeth and go.
I used to suffer from agoraphobia, leaving 5m outside of my house would trigger strong panic attacks and once my mom took me to the store with her and I started crying and saying I wanna go home. I was twelve. She took me to a doctor and we started exposure therapy.
Contrary to the tumblr special snowflake mantra, "just telling someone to get over it" IS a legitimate way of treating anxiety. It works most of the time and there's a written guide by Dr. Edmund Bourne on how to beat it. Meds are temporary, they make you think that you can't do anything without them and that they're to you what spinach is to Popeye. So if you pardon my language, please dare to go bareback into the open world filled with scary people, it gets easier with time.

Forgot to add - helps to carry some medicine in your pocket. Don't use it! Just carry it with you and hold it when you feel bad. It'll make you feel safer. That's what I meant with the xanax comment before, I haven't used meds in some months now, just carry them around for safety.

I hate how mental illness is in vogue in most Lolita communities. It seems like every Lolita I meet has crippling depression or self-esteem issues or PTSD or social anxiety or some other psychiatric problem. As a well-adjusted, entirely sane Lolita I hate getting lumped in with the highly vocal crazies. At my last meet-up five out of the seven girls broke off from the group to loudly discuss what was wrong with them. Lolita isn't some coping mechanism my therapist suggested to me; I participate because I enjoy the creativity. Being surrounded by these pill-popping manic-depressives makes me think that "liking the fashion" isn't what inspires most Lolitas to participate.

I just feel like they're trying to attention whore. It's okay to mention it once - you shouldn't be ashamed or anything - but to go "BUH BUT MUH DEPPRESHUNZ" and self-diagnose every ten minutes like insecure teenagers are apt to do is just plain dumb. And like that other anon said, crying "I can't just 'get over it'!!!GOSH MOM" on their tumblr and reblogging dumb sjw posts lecturing everyone on what a mental illness is (in a comic, to add insult to injury) is just plain annoying. Suddenly there's something wrong with anyone because they armchair diagnose themselves from having read a few wikipedia articles.
If there's something wrong with you go see a doctor don't cry to a bunch of strangers and bond over how inept to function in the modern society you all are.
There's ways to treat whatever you have and it's nice to let people know it for good measure but god damn sometimes it's all they ever talk about.

Mentioning your mental health problems is completely inappropriate in a meet up setting, the same for physical health. Meet ups are for seeing friends and going out to have a good time not for counselling sessions and discussing just how terrible our lives are.
It's nothing to do with being ashamed it's just about recognising what is and what isn't good behaviour in a social setting. Will I talk about my mental health difficulties when I'm with a very close friend and it is relevant to the conversation? Yes. Will I talk about them at a meet even if directly asked about it? No because it is neither the time nor the place.

Shit I tried a bunch of different meds for my anxiety/panic disorder (anon from before here) and none of them did anything. No adverse reactions, but I felt the damn same. Only xanax helps and only if I take it once in a million years because your body gets used to it otherwise and it's addictive. Not trying to go all "back in my day..." but all I hear is how hard it is for these kids and how this or that drug is like, so weird I sprained my eyelash yesterday because of it.
If they had actually been to a doctor they would know that unless it's a severe disorder meds are only temporary and what actually helps is therapy. And no therapy involves sitting at home and crying about it, at least for any form of anxiety.

I'm going on two or three weeks, I think. It doesn't help that I break out in hives every time I shower, I used to manage to shower every 3 days-a week before this started happening.

~when "jsk" or "op" is written in japanese auctions when the person is clearly selling a headbow/kc or some shit
~when the person lists every brand name for something offbrand they're selling
~when the picture is of an entire coord and the auction is only for the purse etc (a blouse under a jsk is meh, but do you really need to include a bolero and kc in the image when youre just auctioning the purse?!)
~when the person doesnt bother writing the name of the print, just something like "red bambi ap dress" for a milky chan jsk

It really, really depends on the person. While exposure therapy is largely effective, literally telling someone to "get over it" inflicts a blow to support systems, messes up relationships, etc. Also, meds help people function, and if they need it they need it. I have little tolerance for people who are unwilling to help themselves somehow and agree that people with anxiety/phobias shouldn't indulge them all of the time, but the "tough" approach you're encouraging doesn't work for everybody.

This, thank you. I'm working on the exposure thing right now and I can definitely see that it's going to get better eventually, but if I go about it the wrong way it will just make things worse and set me back. It's the difference between letting someone with aquaphobia slowly wade through the kiddie pool to work their way up and pushing them from a boat into the ocean. The latter is just going to damage them and nullify all the progress they've made so far. It's gone wrong for me a couple of times and when that happens I end up cooped up in my room crying for weeks, hating myself too much to even think of trying again. That's not laziness or indulgence, that's shock.

I'd never dream talking about my anxiety at a meet, though. I've told them that I have it and that I'm working on it because I was worried that they'd think my behaviour meant that I'm stuck up or that I hate them, but chatting about it with semi-strangers is pretty much the opposite of what I want to do, both for my sake and theirs.

Sure, that's why I mentioned the book. Meds help at first, but at group therapy I met one too many people who were clinging onto them and panicking when they forgot them at home or something. I did that too, though, but what I'm trying to say is that you can't be on them forever. Some years, sure, but by then you should have progressed with the therapy enough to not need them anymore. I wasn't saying "literally go outside now and stop being a lil bitch", just that having your boyfriend there all the time and not doing anything about it isn't really helping. And that lots of tumblr teens prefer to cry about it instead of get help, which makes me suspect that they don't really want to get better at all.
But yeah, I mentioned the book for that reason. It guides you quite well through everything. I'm no doctor so I can't really instruct anyone how to do it, I was just giving advice on actually doing it. Hope that makes sense.

>The denial that OTT sweet often resembles age play. I'm not saying it IS age play or you shouldn't wear it, I'm just saying that if you can't understand why grown women wearing shit like pic related could seem that way to a complete outsider, then you really need to get a grip on reality.
>AatP's corset boning problem. At this point that company has to be well aware that's an issue and I'm beyond awestruck that they've never done anything about it. There is no justification for a $300 dress to have such low quality corset boning that it damages the fabric. Especially given that their clothes are only just above decent quality as it is. Not that I don't love their clothes to death and consider them worth it, but let's be real here, our money is going to the pretty design and the fact it wasn't made in a sweat shop, not high quality.
>AP rereleasing every popular print they've ever come out with and raping the resale value. I don't care because I bought shit for $500+ before that I can only get half of for now, like so many other sweet lolitas but because now I'm too afraid to buy Puppet Circus as it might end up rereleased. I'm willing to pay it's going rate, but I would freak the fuck out if I spent that much money on it only for it to be rereleased. That being said, I'm praying to god it is at some point in 2014.
>The fact that whether or not replicas are good or bad is even a fucking debate or treated like there's no black and white answer. You cannot justify counterfeits.

Maybe an unpopular opinion, but I think really OTT sweet prints only belong at conventions. Like, unless you're okay with people assuming you have an age play fetish, shit like your pic related, with baby blocks, bottles, and all that kiddy stuff are only going to invite the worst kind of comments.
Obviously, this only applies to sweet prints that look like glorified baby clothing, but that seems to be getting really popular lately.

A girl joined my comm during the summer. She came to maybe two meets, wore meh co-ords and didn't know good wigs from a hole in the ground. She made awkward conversation and didn't really become close with any of the members at all.
Then she sold her two JSKs and "left Lolita".

She willingly left Lolita, and she's older than the rest of us. I think she just likes to look at co-ords, but why come out to an event with a dress code where you have to spend money and sit with a group of strangers for hours when you could just browse online or pick up a GLB?

Then it's up to her to make meets more affordable if she can't afford the events. And to make items or research where to get affordable pieces.

No one forced her to go to meets or to buy expensive clothes. If you want to be a lolita and stay in the comm to go to meetups, then you should own enough items to make a decent outfit. No one really cares if you wear the same outfit (and those that care aren't worth your time).

I honestly believe now that the brands see their products as collectables than actual clothing because of the quality concerns, just like you do with some collectable toy companies and whatnot. Beanie Kids for example, collectable toys with genetic base pattern and Made in China crappy fuzzy fabric you wouldn't even put on your body for 10 frickinh dollars a pop.

"do you take treatment for your condition" doesn't strictly imply only medication.
frankly most I'd hate to say, "posers" dont even to think of talk therapy, art therapy, sand therapy, DBT. It sounds less drastic to the mind of the 16 yr old self diagnosed to say she's just talking about her anxiety and doing funny little breathing exercises. to them you're not really suffering if :
a. you're not on drugs or
b. you were on drugs but your condition was so serious they didn't work!!!12

This, once I saw a tumblr post along the lines of "you don't cure anxiety just by pushing someone into the situation they're scared of"

Yes you fucking do
It's a very effective form of therapy even, because it forces you to get off your lazy ass and do something about it

Now granted it doesn't work by pushing someone straight out there, but for example if you're scared of going to a supermarket, first day you go in and stand there for a while, then get out. Next day you go and get something small. Next day you spend more time there etc etc. you don't even need meds for it.

As a behaviourist, I got to say that nobody does that shit anymore. Maybe in humans it can work, because we can think about what it's happening, but it's to be avoided.

Animals can deal with it with a mechanism caled "learned helplessness", which is basically staying quiet and crying, freezing in panic, waiting for it to stop.

It depends on the level of your anxiety. There are other ways to deal with it, namely reward based responses and learning to relax (safe zone), which are way faster and better.

In my country we have Occupational Therapists who generally do this type of work (at least in IP care) So you have your core team Psychiatrist, Nurse, Key Worker, Therapist and Occupational Therapist and they have different roles to play. The Therapist generally does talking therapies e.g CBT while the Occupational Therapist will take on a more active role usually with combating anxieties in certain situations? You talk the anxiety provoking situation through in the session and then devise a plan which will gradually expose you to the situation. The OT will accompany you when you are going to start exposing yourself to the situation and you tell them how you are feeling throughout the exercise. This can take months and months but by the end you should be able to do it by yourself e.g riding the bus, buying food, talking to strangers

Finland! Though I forgot to say, for us only the psychiatrist (the one prescribing meds) works at the hospital.

I grew up having a little brother with severe childhood-onset depression. Its incredibly heartbreaking to see people whine that they have depression, their life is so hard, they didn't even want to finish their fucking cheerios that morning, etc, when you've had to live with an 8 year old boy on suicide watch who had to be restrained and fed because he stopped eating for 2 weeks, or being held down by dad because he tried to smash his head open with some toy truck. We couldn't even find any doctors in my county that would deal with depression or other disorders on patients under 13 (except, of course, ADD/ADHD) and there were several "family therapists" we went to who implied my parents had to be abusing him to cause this as they didn't think children could actually develop depression.

It's vogue for all young girls right now.

HOW CONVENIENT THAT ALL YOUR PROBLEMS AREN'T YOUR FAULT

>>7253129
Treatment doesn't even need to be medication. It can be therapy. Surprise surprise, most girls don't do that either.

>it's too expensive
>I went once and it didn't help me
>my depression is different from other depression!

I hope the stigma against mental health problems comes back so people can stop self-diagnosing and whining about it.

Yeah, but not everyone who actually has depression acts that way.
I was first diagnosed and treated at age 14, but I've never attempted suicide or cut. Granted, I was hospitalized for over a month in secondary for not eating, but it was more of an "I no longer care to go through with this" than an active suicide attempt.
While I agree that having a mental illness (or anything that allows you to be the "victim") is incredibly popular on tumblr right now (really it was like this on myspace and gaia, too), I don't think it's right to dismiss everyone who says such things.

Sage because this is way off topic and has been discussed too much already.

>shit like depression is a mental issue that starts *with you* and you're the only one who can change it.
Fuck you I'm actually diagnosed with clinical depression and it's horrible and not to be taken lightly. I hate hearing people say they have "depression" even though they're not diagnosed with it because they wouldn't actually know what it was like to have depression, they just say it to make others feel bad for them.
I have real clinical depression and I don't bring it up and I don't tell people about it even if they ask unless they're a really good friend because it really is a problem and it's not to be taken lightly and not a thing everyone needs to know.
So no, it's not something that you can get over and I take the medicine and it helps but there's no way I can ever completely change it.
Even my doctor says that clinical depression is not something that you can "get over," it's actually something that is wrong with you.

The stigma is still fucking there, you twat.
I had a professor tell me I shouldn't be in classes if my depression was "such a problem" for me after missing one day of class to go to my uni's emergency therapist.
He then proceeded to treat me far differently and basically act like I just needed to get my shit together.
Also, therapy is expensive, especially if you don't have insurance or don't have insurance that covers it. I can't afford insurance at the moment, and I also don't have $60-240 to shell out for an hour of therapy every week. I am lucky that my university both has counselors available for urgent care 20 hours a day as well as provides students with four sessions free of charge.

This. Most depression is treatable through meds and daily activities, but for some of us it isn't a vogue thing. It's a huge part of people with clinical depressive disorder. My doctor told me once that I won't ever truly get rid of it, and it will probably effect my day-to-day life. I hardly ever tell anyone because I don't want to weigh them down. Some people see it as a vogue thing and I have some friends who are like that. I just smile and play along, and say things like, "I'm so sorry your depression is making you sad." When I know that they don't really know what the deepest depths of depression is. I was diagnosed when I was ten when I tried to kill myself. I never tell anyone and I do my best to keep attention off of me so I don't have to admit to it or give anyone and inkling of what I'm really feeling. So fuck you for thinking that depression is just a vogue thing, remember there are people who have truly have those issues and would do anything for it to be just a fad for them

I think that the previous anon was referring to lazy fucks on tumblr who sit on their ass and reblog depression quotes all day while they complain about how shit their life is rather than individuals who actually try and live their life regardless of whether or not their treatment is working

This made me sad. Hugs for you anon, hope it helps even a little.
I had depression and I'm just getting out of it, never tried to kill myself though, but even if it wasn't that bad it was still awful. I can't imagine having to go through something even worse for a whole lifetime. Swimming and figure skating helped me a lot recently, hope you get the energy to do some sports and maybe get the good hormones going a little. Might make it at least a bit easier. Do you at least have some periods when you're feeling okay enough?

Problem is getting to do those things.
I'm not depressed anymore, but tips on how to be more active and eat healthier on a budget?
Most swimming pools where I live ask for membership which is expensive but I really like to swim. Also I don't like vegetables that much, is there some way to make them taste... not like ass? Sorry for dumb questions.

raw veggies on their own or with hummus, or steam them with a little salt, pepper, and some lemon juice.
make dip out of seasoning packets and low-fat greek yogurt, not sour cream or cream cheese.
even if you hate the flavor, force yourself to snack on them no matter what.

>don't have depression
>high functioning schizophrenic
>never mention anything to anyone

I have insurance, but my illness is a rare form of schizophrenia so I can't move out of my state. It's one of the few centers that can treat it properly and to help with the costs, I'm also part of their lab research. The medication costs 15-30 a month, but each session is 300 even WITH insurance and research subject reductions.

I don't understand why anyone would think its good conversation during a meetup. All I want to do is eat cake and tiny sandwiches, drink overpriced tea and talk about brand releases. The last thing I want to do is go into detail about how shitty life can be. It makes me miss those days when people learnt to fucking shut up and keep their secrets before airing all their personal laundry in public

if you don't have a window or its winter, get a sun lamp for seasonal affective disorder. It's sunlight replacement without UV

Anon, what you had to go through with your brother is absolutely terrible and is an awful display of the horrors depression can wreak; however, extreme cases such as yours don't negate the struggles of people who aren't under the same circumstances. Armchair diagnosers are shit but there are plenty of people struggling terribly and it manifests in much less dramatic but still highly damaging ways, like not being able to keep up with hygiene or function in school or "finish their fucking Cheerios."

I wore a light colred AP replica to Disney for Mickeys not so scary halloween party. Surprisingly, it wasnt dirty at all from sitting on rides or anything else for that matter.

A haunted maze though.. I would 100% flip out if some of the actors grease paint or fake blood got on my dress, replica, BL, or anything.
