re: Am I the only one who doesn't understand stress or depression

I'd like to be clear, I'm not in every person who says they are depressed should be coddled or anything crowd. I'm not speaking of people on social media clamoring they are depressed b/c they failed a test or great-grandpa died. Most people have stresses and handle them fine. You wouldn't know about 99.9%%%% of idiots blowing up if it weren't for internet. I don't typically see people lose their cool very often in public or anything like that, maybe outside of a homeless schizo or something.
The vast majority of people deal with elderly parents and grand-parents dying just fine. May take some time but they go back to work, raise their kids, do what they do. I just don't believe OPs take is the truth, I think he just spends a lot of time on social media and acts like those crazy people are the norm.
True depression is much deeper and has been talked about enough in this thread. Much different issue.

Clinical depression has nothing to do with your circumstances or anything going on in your life. Nothing at all. It comes out of nowhere and is crippling.

You even claim to have PTSD
An involuntary bioloigical reaction of elevated pulse and adrenaline spike when a vehicle attempts to pull out in front of me while I am traveling at a high rate of speed seems like a normal biological response.
Now... I could choose to let that cause stress and not drive, or put it behind me and move on.

I see what the issue is here. You're just an idiot.

I asked if she was alive or passed as I was walking up by making eye contact with a paramedic on the front porch and making a thumbs up or thumbs down sign.
He made a thumbs down. Shook his head no. And then looked at me like a monster for being as callous as he was.
26 year paramedic here, he wasn't looking at you b/c he thought you were calloused, I'd bet the house he's way more calloused than you are, I can promise you I am also, even with my prior replies in this thread. He was probably just stressed about the situation of having to tell someone. Unless he was new, he didn't give 2 shits whether you cared or not.
ETA: In some ways I'm calloused. Seeing death I can be very callous. Overall very empathetic to people, always to the loved one's on scenes, much more than most of the other medics I worked with.

You have zero clue.

I think what's clear is you don't actually know what PTSD is
Having an elevated heart rate after something like that isn't the same thing as PTSD and you're just making yourself sound dumber with every post in this thread.
And what's more ridiculous is this appears to be a "response" thread mocking people that are dealing with things that you don't understand

Must be nice.

It's true, when you're stupid, you don't know what you don't know, therefore, you don't worry about it. Someone like that is literally too stupid to be depressed because they have no higher levels of thinking.

I'm guessing that you have down syndrome?

I'm like you...or was. I always felt hey, we all have problems. You control your own emotions. You feel that way because you allow yourself to feel that way. Pull up your bootstraps and fix your problems. That's what men should do. Then a good friend took his life a month ago. Retired young. All the money he would ever need. Beautiful wife. Kid thriving in school, smart as a whip.
Then I found out he was suffering from depression. I was blown away. Like, how? I realized that there's a lot I don't know about depression. A whole lot. I still approach my problems with the mindset mentioned above but I have empathy for people battling depression now.

Agreed
OP seems to be a perfect example
His interpretation of what PTSD is is the most ignorant thing imaginable

How old are you and what responsibilities do you actually have?

I used to not understand it until I entered some pretty dark places myself.
Not everyone can just take a deep breath and move on...consider that to be a luxury of yours that you can enjoy while other may not be able to do the same.

Poor example. Dude was slaying pussy and a movie star for decades. He had nothing to complain about.

49 out 50.
However... 38/50 on a standford-binet would likely be in the 98th percentile of the population. The average is 25/50.
There was someone in that thread who claimed they were a genius because they scored a 30/50.
