   Why is it that nobody likes talking about depression? I feel society puts this absurd connotation on it as one of the unspeakable things. Rarely do I see media coverage on it; but when I do, they're usually negative factors.  

   The Media is how we get all information and form our expectations and views of society. It seems to be a common thread that the media spews out partial or even fake reports to align society to their flavor of the week.

   A prime example are the Myths the Media Depicts on Depression, reported by Margarita Tartakovsky, M.S. in Psych Central. The article speaks on so many myths, and here's a few of them below:

   Just about everyone hates "adulting". Rushing to grow up seems to be the standard for our society, but why? It seems that becoming an adult means settling or lack of enjoyment. 

   You're supposed to subscribe to the jaded intricacies of "work", "chores" and "responsibilities". Those words look so daunting don't they? Being an adult just has so many negative connotations connected to it, and scientists appear to agree with me.

   Have you ever woken up one day and thought, "Why am I in this relationship"? I've had that feeling twice in my life when I was younger. It's a rough feeling and pretty depressing, especially if you have been with that person for quite some time. I mean, this person is what you've always wanted right? Maybe not...

   With all of the movies, books and music out there that attempt to construct the most perfect relationship, it skews our view of what a relationship actually is. Like in the article written by Psych Alive titled Why My Relationship Failed, a Fantasy Bond Story, we think that by being inseparable with our loved one is a perfect situation. In all of our dreams and fantasies, we see that perfect person light up our world every possible second they can. The visions of being held through the night while you're clinging to your pillow hoping that mystery person will come soon.

   A conversation I was apart of yesterday is a prime example of why people don't succeed. As my neighbor and I were shooting pool, a model came up to my neighbor to discuss how her career is going. 


   First off, she was the one speaking the whole time. She was talking over my neighbor, just projecting that she isn't getting much work and her agency doesn't send her out anymore. By the time she got up to leave, my neighbor may have slotted in a few sentences. 


   What I picked up on during the one sided conversation was that she never addressed Why she is failing. Only the domino effect the failure was causing.
