lol

All I'm saying is they're being paid by the state therefore they can earn the money they're being handed,

Great. Pay me nothing.
Just give me my thirty years of National Insurance contributions back, and I'm off!

You do realise it's a recognised medical condition? Don't confuse "feeling depressed" with suffering from depression? Similar to how hurting your arm is different to having a medical problem with it.


edit: though I feel you might just be trolling

WHS. Dont make the mistake of joining the 'pull your socks up' brigade. Proper depression is a serious condition.

My sister suffers from clinical depression,the problem is that she no longer takes any responsibility for her behaviour and the rest of us have to tread around her as if we are walking on eggshells. She therefore has control of everyone around her and no one challenges her. I just wonder whether people living in an environment where they have no one else to fall back on allows people to be "depressed".

Yes, there are two types of depression: 'Reactive' and 'Endogenous'

Reactive depression is 'the blues' because your life is crap at the moment.
Endogenous depression is a medical condition. The reason why people who have seemingly perfect lives commit suicide.

Hmmm. Coiuldnt comment on that but it does happen to anyone regardless of who they are etc. Winston Churchill, cricketer Marcus Trescothick.

There is no doubt that real depression is a medical condition that requires treatment but that is not to say that everyone who claims to have it is genuine

[NickFitz]

Number of unemployed: 2.67 million. Number of job vacancies: 476,000.

That means that even if 82% of the unemployed didn't want to work (which seems unlikely), there still wouldn't be enough job vacancies for the remaining 18%.

Therefore there will be people who want to work but cannot find a job.

There, that wasn't too hard to understand, was it?

It's strange, and if you have never had it I don't suppose you can really understand.

For example, when I was young and my life was great, I used to get the blues and have a very thin skin. I seem to have grown out of it.

Now my life is crap, I have a skin like a rhino, I am optimistic for the long term come what may, and want to 'stand and fight' against whatever life throws at me next.

You think it would be the other way round, wouldn't you?

Maybe experience has taught you that not everything is as bad as it first seems and with age comes wisdom (I'm still waiting for this part to happen to me lol).
