My Little Corner of the Web

I don’t want to make a big of a deal out of nothing but this interview is quite a disturbing one.

So in this interview they have to read their fortune for 2016 and when it was Ross’s turn he got at Luck in love: “A small failure will make you aware of it’s important meaning.” but before to read that he said: “The fans are gonna love this but I don’t!”. Basically he admitted that he sees all this hate towards his girlfriend and that he thinks that we, his fans, don’t like his relationship and that we’ll be glad if they’ll fight/broke up.

So the fans from Instagram, me included, started a thing where we comment nice things on his pics with Courtney or with them together in an attempt to show him that we actually support his relationship and that we’re happy for him.

But as usual Raura shippers (not all of them obviously) came and they start to “ruin” this thing by commenting stuff like “Raura forever”, “Raura is better than Rourtney” or “We hate Courtney, she’s a bitch”.

So what I’m trying to do here is to ask your help and, if you want, to comment nice things on Ross’s pics about him, his girlfriend and his relationship.

Let’s use our time to do something nice as showing our idol how much we love him and we respect his choices!

And for all of you who are Raura fans or just don’t think Ross should be with Courtney, why don’t you keep your thoughts away from Ross? First, he’s not going to make his life decisions based on what you want. And it’s rude of you to try to tell him who he should and shouldn’t date. His own parents don’t do that to him.

No. That’s not how it works. Depression sucks the energy out of you. There are days when just dragging yourself out of bed is something to celebrate. There are days when you can’t bring yourself to do anything. Every day with depression is a day fighting against self loathing and this general feeling of emptiness and listlessness. You can’t just “look” for the good in life when you can’t even enjoy the things that used to make you so happy. On top of that, depression doesn’t give a fuck about the beauty around you. You could live in the fucking Garden of Eden surrounded by peacefulness and holy beauty and shit and still be fucking depressed so don’t talk to me about how much good there is the world. Fuck you.

Besides, self-harm isn’t even about not seeing the good in the world. Self-harm is about punishing yourself for existing.

Don’t get me wrong, I can completely understand why what he said upset you. It seems people who don’t have family that have issues like clinical depression, bipolar disorder, etc have trouble comprehending these issues. It’s not like they can see the chemical imbalances that cause them. And I don’t think calling it clinical depression helps. They hear “depression” and think of people getting “depressed” when their pet dies or something and they’re said for awhile before they “get over it” and move on. If only clinical depression could be solved that easily. 

I personally dealt with people’s misunderstandings when I was suffering panic attacks after my dad’s death. If you’ve never suffered a panic attack, you’re very lucky. You feel like you can’t breath and you don’t want to move. And I was told by my boss at the time, “Well, just stop panicking and get to work!” I see people also not getting my sister’s issues that she has due to being bipolar.
