So you're saying it's a choice you make to be depressed; in the emo-world, maybe. I know people who've had something HUGE happen to them and were really affected by it, to the point where they didn't feel capable of carrying on. My best friend's sister died in a car accident when she was 16. Her mother was crushed, no words can describe what it's like to lose a child, and at such a young age. She was depressed for many years and even now, 10 years later, she's still not fully recovered, and I don't think that's something you can ever get over; so according to you, my friend's mother decided she'd be depressed because having a 16 year-old daugther die isn't enough to bring one's life down? Oh and it's not really a "psychological disorder", she was perfectly aware of what was going on, just couldn't cope with the pain of knowing her doughter was forever gone.
