Depressed people are NOT ungrateful. Depressed people are NOT ungrateful. Depressed people are NOT ungrateful. Depressed people are NOT ungrateful. Depressed people are NOT ungrateful. Depressed people are NOT ungrateful. Depressed people are NOT ungrateful. Depressed people are NOT ungrateful.
I’m grateful for so much of my life. I would love to not have to choose between buying healthy food and paying the power bill after working back to back 70h weeks away from my home, though.
I know better circumstances wouldn’t fix my depression but I can’t believe it wouldn’t help it.
thank you god for giving innocent children to horrible rapists. Thank you god for giving us hitler and poutin. And thank you god for forcing millions of girls to prostitution for their survival. Last, on a personal note, thank you god for making my mother sick with a brain destroying illness, making her suffer and unable to move for the five last years of her young life. If anyone knows where god lives, please tell me so I can thank that worthless bastard in person with my fists.
The first thing you listed happened to me. And if God exists, he watched while they tortured me, which makes him just one of the many other sadists who watched (and paid to watch). I'm in on hunting him down.
I’m so sorry, that’s horrible. I know this comment means nothing but I wish that didn’t happen to people because no one deserves it especially not children.
Without free will, real love doesn’t exist. God didn’t give us rapists. If I slapped you in the face and told you “God made me do it,” I’m a liar. Nothing bad on earth happens because God made it happen. Everything bad on earth happens because we live in a broken world, and the bad things people do are because they have the ability to choose what selfish things they want because they have free will. You’ve done bad things before, and so have I. No one is perfect, and we are the way we are because humans are selfish. Cancer is a horrible thing, and honestly I don’t know why it’s a thing either, but what I do know is that it’s just another part of our broken and unfair world. It’s easy to want to blame someone for it all, but it’s hard to accept that it’s just something that happens. It’s really hard. I hope you at least have a good week.
Either he is not all-powerful or he is a neglectful and abusive arsehole or he doesn't exist. You can't argue that he's all-powerful and in control and can intervene and that he has no responsibility for the evil that happens on earth. These two things contradict each other.
I've done bad things but I'm not a rapist or pedophile. Nor have I committed genocide. The "no one is perfect" argument is evil and callous. It's also completely unbiblical.
Your entire comment is nothing but you word-for-word regurgitating thought-stopping cliches. There is even a single thought there. Nothing genuine. As someone who was a church worker for years, I am familiar with every single word. You refuse to face evil and suffering. You are choosing your own comfort over goodness and love and facing reality.
You said to _Forevergreen "Your entire comment is nothing but you word-for-word regurgitating thought-stopping cliches."
That's what I thought the first time I read it, but then as I was working on a scathing reply I read it again, and I think that they're saying that God isn't responsible for bad things because God doesn't exist, shit just happens." I think.
The original message of this post says that your god is behind every event in this world. It's just hypocritical to pretend that he only does the 'good' things but not the 'bad' things. Like, if a drop of water falls, is that good? Or bad? If it's bad because it has bad repercussion, does that mean that it's not god that moved that drop? Then that means there are multiple beings who move matter in that world? And when it's bad for one but good for the other, who did it? god or satan? Who wakes the rapist? God? or satan? It's hypocrisy to shut down your brain and just say that when it's good it's god, otherwise it isn't.
Also, your god is supposed to be all powerful, yet he doesn't stop criminals at all. He doesn't prevent illnesses to happen. Worse, he created viruses and bacteria, since he created everything. And he created us flawed enough to get cancer. And those things, unlike criminals, are just doing what they are genetically programmed for. They don't give a shit about good and evil. That's because it's only us humans who see illnesses as evil. And your god doesn't do anything to stop them from making us ill, even deadly ill.
Shall I go on? I have still a lot to say about free will, that myth. And especially about good and evil.
Also thanks alot for having my great cousin die from cancer at 25 years old and leaving her mother at her bed devastated crying her heart out. Thank God for destroying my foots tendons 16 year ago and then making every single doctor not believe me until it's too late to fully repair it. Thank you for sending me meet a "nice" guy that turned out to be an aggressive cheater and an idiot who broke my heart and completely eliminated my ability to trust people.
And thanks for the disability I was born with that was only diagnosed at 25 years old. It made my life so easy being misunderstood this long.
Should I thank "god" for my sleep apnea too? (I stop breathing 67x per hour, oxygen saturation = 68%not 98% for 6 hours?) How about the American "healthcare system"? I have an appointment in JUNE for my life threatening apnea? Yay! 😒 GTFO
... You need a CPAP. You can't just hope and pray you survive the night for half a year. Also your quality of sleep without it will be miserable. I had a roommate who has sleep apnea, she hates wearing it but the doctor very clearly told her that she could die without it. If your lawyer can't get you help faster, look around on marketplace and other platforms where old medical equipment is shared, someone might have one that they no longer need. If you can't find anything there something like a gofundme might be a last ditch effort, if you do that message me the link to it so I can contribute. You can't do half a year with no help for sleep apnea, that's dangerous.
I think any blessings/prayers/well wishes are going to go over about as well as your post (in which the comments aren’t very optimistic). Just saying 🤷♂️
Um... OP's post is NOT saying that depressed people shouldn't be.
This is r/thanksimcured where people make fun of that stuff.
Maybe don't chastise people who are chastising triteness and flippancy.
Shouldn’t be …. what? The thing I never said that you are imposing? I know what this thread is for but thanks for …. whatever you think your comment was doing….?🤔
So much vague in your comment. I don't know where to start.
Shouldn't be (implied, obviously) "depressed".
I'm not imposing anything. I'm not sure that word even works there.
See, if you just stopped rejecting him and instead accepted him into your life, all of these problems would go away. The solution is right there, it's the devil telling you to do otherwise! /s
My Princess Fluffibutt didn't wake me before my bladder this morning, but she usually does.
We got her as a kitten and my daughter's friend prenamed her Sparta because of her spiciness.
She's pretty mellow now, 12 years later.
And thank you god for giving innocent children cancer, for allowing religious wars and genocides all over the world, for letting whole regions of people starve and die, for permitting the existence of rapists and murderers, for bigots who wish death (or worse) on people just because they’re different.
Sounds like a benevolent god worth worshipping to me /s
Yeah I guess the only way you could write it effectively would be 0.0…1%, an infinite string of 0’s followed by a 1, quite literally an infinitely small chance, without it being actually 0
Does it matter? Not in the slightest. Did I think about this too much? Yes. Was it a waste of time though?
Sorry, my cat woke me up with claws this morning, and I'm not thanking him for it, no matter how much he is convinced he is a god. Not even if hes right.
My cat woke me up, after I had slept not even twenty minutes, by dry heaving.
I was up with him all night caring for him, because my partner wanted to “wait for morning” for a urinary blockage. (It’s a ‘complicated’ relationship, and I’m an unmarried stay at home mom. I don’t have any money, I don’t have a job and can’t apply for care credit myself)
Every vet I called was like “bring him in now - it’s an emergency”, my partner said he “had information” that said otherwise, but wouldn’t share it.
I decided just to bring him in to a place that said they’d triage him immediately and had reasonable prices.
The regular vet ended up calling as I was heading out the door, even though it was before opening hours (because I’d called them too) and said he needed to go to emergency. I’m like - thank you for confirming!
I’ve had a lot of problems today, but my cat is safe right now and getting treatment (albeit expensive treatment, but much more reasonable than other places around here) - so that’s one blessing I’m definitely counting.
Do you know how hard it is to try to sleep when you can’t stop thinking about how your cat could be dead beside you when you wake up 😥
Uh huh, except god didn't wake me up this morning. It was my alarm telling me to wake up to get ready for my 10-hour shift at McDonald's with the most condescending managers who all have multiple sticks up their ass
My cats and bad dreams/anxiety from my evening edible made me wake up this morning. I’m depressed but hella grateful for my cats (and my edibles when they don’t betray me).
Thank you God for putting me through Hell on earth before I could comprehend why I was being punished. Thank you God for putting me through Hell on earth before I was old enough to be judged.
Wow omg they're right 😮 Thank you so much God for making me wake up but still not want to get out of bed because my depression is so bad. Thank you for giving me anxiety so I can stay up late overanalyzing simple tasks and events, making it even harder to get out of bed in the morning. Also thanks for making my dreams in life reject me as if they weren't next to impossible in the first place. You could be out here solving world hunger, queerphobia, wealth inequality, but instead you let some of the most horrible soulless people on this earth become presidents and trillionaires this year. Nice. Real nice. Can't wait to see what you use your awesome power for next. 🙄
Yes, thank you God for waking me up this afternoon to crippling pain and fatigue only to do it all again tomorrow morning with the added joy of having to go out into the bitter cold in the darkness to drive to work.
That very last clause reminds me of the מודה אני prayer, but with a bunch of BS attached. This prayer is traditionally recited upon waking to thank God for not letting you die in your sleep this time.
It's Sunday, 7th December, I just woke up and "God" is a fictional character from a book people wrote to explain "wonders" that they couldn't explain with their limited scientific knowledge and to soothe the pain horrible things caused to them back then.
I could also thank Jack Reacher for previously being a military cop. He's just as fictional.
Guys, this is not about depression or how they are just ungrateful. And it's not completely wrong. I wouldn't have worded it like this, but focusing on the good things is good for your mental health. Even therapists recommend it. Nobody is saying that it's a cure, but it helps if you can do it. Because of course the world looks all gray and awful if you only read news about the war and spend an hour being angry because your coworker did something stupid. At some point it's just helpful to say: "You know what, I don't give a shit right now. I have friends and hobbys and I'd rather spend my evening playing DnD and not think about any of that stupid shit for a while. And then I'll wake up tomorrow, enjoy the sunshine and take my time making a nice sunday breakfast." Doesn't mean that you're not allowed to be upset if your coworker fucks up and you need to fix it, but just don't think about it too much. It's one bad thing and there are so many good things you could think about instead.
On the 6th I had to get up at 4 o'clock on 1 hour of sleep, travel for 5+ hours, take an exam, sit through a lecture and travel back 5+ hours (this time on a cramped, dirty, rickety and smelly bus)
There are no words known to man that describe my feelings on 'god' having woken me that day!
No, thank you. I did not ask to be born neither did I wish to live this life. I decide what I want to feel. I do not need someone else to dictate what I should feel.
That was my birthday... And I don't believe that there's a God.
And my birthday wasn't really good. I had to go to the store, and my brother wouldn't listen to me about where the car was, making us stand in the cold for at least 5 minutes. McDonald's messed up our order, and I didn't even get to have the cupcakes I wanted.
Does that make God that asshole rooster that crows every morning that my neighbor down the street has in her yard and she KNOWS she doesnt have the proper permits for keeping farm animals, ISN'T THAT RIGHT, GEORGINA!?!?!?
Oh, yes... Thank you "God" for waking me up and not helping those that truly need help. It's not like I could've naturally done it on my own after following my circadian rhythm...
I'm not fucking ungrateful. I'm depressed, and your God didn't will me to live and have a good day, anyhow.
Where was God when all the people who've gone through SA and other Abuse happened? And what's more, Who got them out of it? Certainly not an uncaring God that never came to help them in the first place.
Depressed people are NOT ungrateful. Depressed people are NOT ungrateful. Depressed people are NOT ungrateful. Depressed people are NOT ungrateful. Depressed people are NOT ungrateful. Depressed people are NOT ungrateful. Depressed people are NOT ungrateful. Depressed people are NOT ungrateful.
I should print this and put it on my wall.
You know - I should print it out hundreds of times and leave them everywhere
People need to reframe their thinking about depression because it's killing us
It's sticker time :3
I’m gonna go be ungrateful just to prove you wrong! /j
but they breathe why are they depressed? /s
I’m grateful for so much of my life. I would love to not have to choose between buying healthy food and paying the power bill after working back to back 70h weeks away from my home, though.
I know better circumstances wouldn’t fix my depression but I can’t believe it wouldn’t help it.
It absolutely would. It would at least take you from drowning ti the shore so that you can get your bearings and maybe find a way out of the darkness.
Just eating in the morning no matter how hard it is helps noticably! So I assume your things would too.
My day is doomed when I start it with a few hours of starvation then be all cranky when my brain finally has some substance
Yeah. I spend half my thinking time just being grateful for what I have. Still not cured.
No one is saying that? there are ungrateful people in the world that just like to complain constantly.
People are always going to have their opinions.
*Some depressed people…. Edit: ok, got me? I guess it IS all depressed people 🤷♂️
TIL god is my bladder.
God is my 5 year old, apparently.
PRAISE THE MESSIAH
Praise the Mr Messy - Argh!!
My cat
That's my comment too!
My phone is god!
no wonder He has such a short temper lol
It will get shorter as you get older
can't wait
Sorry, I'll only be a minute.
The neighborhood cat is god? I can see it.
Jokes on you I never went to bed
Praise god for...giving you insomnia, apparently (?)
Lol nah I just work nights
thank you god for giving innocent children to horrible rapists. Thank you god for giving us hitler and poutin. And thank you god for forcing millions of girls to prostitution for their survival.

Paid to watch? Wtf?
Is this rhetorical or are you actually surprised?
I’m so sorry that happened to you :( 💔
I’m quite fond of poutine myself
I hoped I wouldn’t have to say this on this comment but this is one of the most reddit things i’ve seen today
I mean, I like fish, but I think thats a wrong spelling

B-b-but FREE WILL!
Ah, yes, free will! But eternal hell if you dare to use it.
You got it!
Also thanks alot for having my great cousin die from cancer at 25 years old and leaving her mother at her bed devastated crying her heart out.

We are all SO GODDAMN BLESSED.
God didn’t wake Jack shit up, my alarm woke me up.
Should I thank "god" for my sleep apnea too? (I stop breathing 67x per hour, oxygen saturation = 68% not 98% for 6 hours?) How about the American "healthcare system"? I have an appointment in JUNE for my life threatening apnea? Yay! 😒 GTFO
You have a CPAP already though, right? Please tell me you have a CPAP already and don't have to wait half a year for that.
Nope 😡
I'm going to make a bunch of calls on Monday. If I don't get anywhere, my lawyer will be making calls on Tuesday! 😈
... You need a CPAP. You can't just hope and pray you survive the night for half a year. Also your quality of sleep without it will be miserable.

"REMEMBER REMEMBER THE 6TH OF DECEMBER" - D For Depression
I'm sorry I can give you only one upvote.
Fuck you god for waking me up this morning
pets cat thank you for waking me up this morning, Your Divine Fluffiness
Oh, it probably doesn't need that reinforcement.
Why fight the truth 😂😂
My Princess Fluffibutt didn't wake me before my bladder this morning, but she usually does.
We got her as a kitten and my daughter's friend prenamed her Sparta because of her spiciness.
She's pretty mellow now, 12 years later.
Oh the oppressors and elites of the world would love if we all just stopped complaining and were grateful
My bladder is God?
Then my cat is more powerful than god, because I can ignore my bladder until Kevin stands on it.

This is Kevin, he’s adorable
We need to talk about Kevin.
Has he murdered anyone lately?
r/churchofcat
And thank you god for giving innocent children cancer, for allowing religious wars and genocides all over the world, for letting whole regions of people starve and die, for permitting the existence of rapists and murderers, for bigots who wish death (or worse) on people just because they’re different.
Sounds like a benevolent god worth worshipping to me /s
I don't believe in god... and in the 0.000000000000001% chance it exists i curse it for bringing me to this world
That’s higher odds than I’d give it personally
My finger got tired of typing 0, yeah i would still be typing 0 but i got things to do
Yeah I guess the only way you could write it effectively would be 0.0…1%, an infinite string of 0’s followed by a 1, quite literally an infinitely small chance, without it being actually 0
Does it matter? Not in the slightest. Did I think about this too much? Yes. Was it a waste of time though?
Also yes.
Bruh now I'm getting threats for being depressed? What a world
Sorry, my cat woke me up with claws this morning, and I'm not thanking him for it, no matter how much he is convinced he is a god. Not even if hes right.
God didn’t wake me up this morning, a cat shaped like a basketball with tiny legs did. But she thinks she’s god, so there’s that.
No, my cell phone woke me up.
Gross. This made me actually angry
My cat woke me up, after I had slept not even twenty minutes, by dry heaving.
I was up with him all night caring for him, because my partner wanted to “wait for morning” for a urinary blockage. (It’s a ‘complicated’ relationship, and I’m an unmarried stay at home mom. I don’t have any money, I don’t have a job and can’t apply for care credit myself)
Every vet I called was like “bring him in now - it’s an emergency”, my partner said he “had information” that said otherwise, but wouldn’t share it.
I decided just to bring him in to a place that said they’d triage him immediately and had reasonable prices.
The regular vet ended up calling as I was heading out the door, even though it was before opening hours (because I’d called them too) and said he needed to go to emergency. I’m like - thank you for confirming!
I’ve had a lot of problems today, but my cat is safe right now and getting treatment (albeit expensive treatment, but much more reasonable than other places around here) - so that’s one blessing I’m definitely counting.
Do you know how hard it is to try to sleep when you can’t stop thinking about how your cat could be dead beside you when you wake up 😥
Edited spelling mistake and punctuation mistake
Oh - I also don’t believe in god. But this just made me want to share how I woke up this morning for some reason.
Rough day. I’m tired. Going back to nap now… 🥱
When the loss of my greatest blessing causes problems, the other blessings don't matter anymore.
People who preach stuff, especially those who haven't lived it, require several days of living in our shoes.
I still get days confused since we went back one hour…….
I get days confused since I retired. That was back in April.
Thanks for the food I vomited during a stress induced anxiety attack this morning 👌you da man jeebus
Uh huh, except god didn't wake me up this morning. It was my alarm telling me to wake up to get ready for my 10-hour shift at McDonald's with the most condescending managers who all have multiple sticks up their ass
But.. God is still asleep.

I'd rather thank the oncology team for saving my life despite my having had very low odds of survival.
It’s kinda crazy how everything good that happens is because of god and everything bad that happens isn’t
and if you don't wake up it's because you didn't count your blessings!
Note to self: Don't count blessings.
lol, well it's not mutually exclusive lol
…. in your sleep?
these were sheeps ! wrong species
This would help if I was Christian ig idk 🤷
God has never woken me up… what am I supposed to do with this?!!?
its a random day who cares 💔💔💔
My cats and bad dreams/anxiety from my evening edible made me wake up this morning. I’m depressed but hella grateful for my cats (and my edibles when they don’t betray me).
If god is omniscient then he’d know that I wanted to not wake up this morning, or ever again 😂
Wait, I was supposed to be counting my problems!? This is gonna take some time. Thanks for reminding me, friend! I really must get organized.
Wanking up
Yeah, this was one of those times where I just skimmed the last part of the post and did a temporary double take.
I love that they seem to use the first sentence as rationale for the rest; like "here's the date, now be grateful for it".
i dont rlly believe in god but i’m always thankful that my dad is still around even if he is in the hospital
Wow I don't have depression anymore! Turns out I didnt need ketamine treatment after all! /s
I woke up this morning feeling the most profound and persistent version of "MEH". Not happy, sad, angry, or even bored. Just MEH.
I would rather not wake up
Thank you God for putting me through Hell on earth before I could comprehend why I was being punished. Thank you God for putting me through Hell on earth before I was old enough to be judged.
I was gonna come in here with the anger of 1k suns, then I read the sub name. I'm cool, I'm cool. We cool.
Negative nancies and Christophobes out in full force today :)
Fuck God
What if i hate god for waking up this Morning?
Oh there's so many better reasons than that to hate him...
That i exist to beginn with?
Wow omg they're right 😮 Thank you so much God for making me wake up but still not want to get out of bed because my depression is so bad. Thank you for giving me anxiety so I can stay up late overanalyzing simple tasks and events, making it even harder to get out of bed in the morning. Also thanks for making my dreams in life reject me as if they weren't next to impossible in the first place.

Nice. Real nice. Can't wait to see what you use your awesome power for next. 🙄
god let me live another day and I'm about to make that everyone else's problem
"Dear God, thanks for making me wake up to another day of this hellfuck garbage world"
I swear the people posting this shit have money.
Yes, thank you God for waking me up this afternoon to crippling pain and fatigue only to do it all again tomorrow morning with the added joy of having to go out into the bitter cold in the darkness to drive to work.
God can kindly fuck off and let me sleep forever, I didn't ask for real life dammit
Yeah, thanks God, real fuckin cool. Thoroughly enjoying it. I love consciousness so much I wanna put a gun in my mouth.
Why thank him when I could curse him?
Thanks, God, you didn’t do shit again!
No
I'd thank him if I didn't wake up instead.. Not like I'm religious anyway..
I'll thank the doctors that saved my life instead. They don't get enough credit for all the miracles they pull.
Count my blessings? I guess I just didn't know how. But they knew, better.
I curse whatever lets me wake up in the morning because it knows I’m not worthy of life but it loves watching me suffer
I wish for the end!
lol I'm sure POWs in any war as they slowly starve would appreciate being told this as well. Hey atleast you woke up!
Actually, The Rolling Stones woke me up this morning. 7.30 it felt early. Would god let me sleep til at least 8.30?
My cat must be god because she wakes me up every morning without fail. I thought there was something special about her!
Cat god will rise again! Nine times, in fulfillment of the prophecy!
That very last clause reminds me of the מודה אני prayer, but with a bunch of BS attached. This prayer is traditionally recited upon waking to thank God for not letting you die in your sleep this time.
The prayer:
מוֹדֶה (מוֹדָה) אֲנִי לְפָנֶֽיךָ מֶֽלֶךְ חַי וְקַיָּים, שֶׁהֶֽחֱזַֽרְתָּ בִּי נִשְׁמָתִי בְחֶמְלָה; רַבָּה אֱמֽוּנָתֶֽךָ.
Translation:
I thank you, living and enduring king, for you have graciously returned my soul within me. Great is your faithfulness.
TIL: god is a Google Nest Mini.
It's Sunday, 7th December, I just woke up and "God" is a fictional character from a book people wrote to explain "wonders" that they couldn't explain with their limited scientific knowledge and to soothe the pain horrible things caused to them back then.
I could also thank Jack Reacher for previously being a military cop. He's just as fictional.
I'll rather take my meds now, they actually help.
Guys, this is not about depression or how they are just ungrateful. And it's not completely wrong. I wouldn't have worded it like this, but focusing on the good things is good for your mental health. Even therapists recommend it. Nobody is saying that it's a cure, but it helps if you can do it. Because of course the world looks all gray and awful if you only read news about the war and spend an hour being angry because your coworker did something stupid. At some point it's just helpful to say: "You know what, I don't give a shit right now. I have friends and hobbys and I'd rather spend my evening playing DnD and not think about any of that stupid shit for a while. And then I'll wake up tomorrow, enjoy the sunshine and take my time making a nice sunday breakfast." Doesn't mean that you're not allowed to be upset if your coworker fucks up and you need to fix it, but just don't think about it too much. It's one bad thing and there are so many good things you could think about instead.
Your problems won't be there if you don't count them I guess? Lmao.
On the 6th I had to get up at 4 o'clock on 1 hour of sleep, travel for 5+ hours, take an exam, sit through a lecture and travel back 5+ hours (this time on a cramped, dirty, rickety and smelly bus)
There are no words known to man that describe my feelings on 'god' having woken me that day!
My spouse woke me up this morning, with the help of a phone alarm. I did thank her, and she is a blessing.
Fuck off, god, it's my day off!
But I finished counting my blessings so long ago...
I honestly wish I didn't wake up, but oh well. One can only dream
Anyway wanna see my screenplay of my OC curbstomping the everliving fuck outta jesus christ?
Uhh god-Why are you in my room? To wake me up...? That's what my alarm is for, get out you perv
Saturday was my birthday. NOBODY in my family said a thing about it. not my wife, not our kids, nobody.

Thank you god!!
I actually actively curse god for the last thing.
“Count your blessings” = “count your magical enchantments”
Who said I wanted to wake up? When I die God should ask for my forgiveness.
My dog woke me up this morning
Yeah, that'd be on my list too. (That I exist, I mean, not you.)
No, thank you. I did not ask to be born neither did I wish to live this life. I decide what I want to feel. I do not need someone else to dictate what I should feel.
Honestly I hate « be grateful » stuff, but this has the added subtext: you could be dead—which makes it feel more valid :)
That was my birthday... And I don't believe that there's a God.
And my birthday wasn't really good. I had to go to the store, and my brother wouldn't listen to me about where the car was, making us stand in the cold for at least 5 minutes. McDonald's messed up our order, and I didn't even get to have the cupcakes I wanted.
God didn't do shit. An alarm woke me this morning
But what if you didn't want to wake up yet?
Does that make God that asshole rooster that crows every morning that my neighbor down the street has in her yard and she KNOWS she doesnt have the proper permits for keeping farm animals, ISN'T THAT RIGHT, GEORGINA!?!?!?
I thank God everyday for making me transgender 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Ooh ooh ooh, I know this one:
“No, fuck off”
Oh, yes... Thank you "God" for waking me up and not helping those that truly need help. It's not like I could've naturally done it on my own after following my circadian rhythm...
No, I didnt want to fucking wake up in the first place, WHY THE FUCK DID HE HAD TO WAKE ME UP, fuck god, or better yet - dont, it is unfuckworthy
I'm not fucking ungrateful. I'm depressed, and your God didn't will me to live and have a good day, anyhow.
Where was God when all the people who've gone through SA and other Abuse happened? And what's more, Who got them out of it? Certainly not an uncaring God that never came to help them in the first place.
Too many commas...
I wonder where some people get this notion that depressed people are ungrateful all the time
Pattern recognition
Because we're never grateful for their "Just be positive!" advice.
