I get lazy sometimes due to the depression, and don't wish to write a whole essay to explain my reasoning, excuse me but I barely care about getting out of bed, don't see how you can expect me not to be lazy

Lots of people posting on social media are clinically depressed, some to the point of near-catatonia; many are dealing with severe physical disabilities and diseases; some are even terminally ill. But that doesn't change the fact that anyone posting on debate subs - and especially starting debate threads - should be expected to put the time and effort in to explain their reasoning.

I did put time and effort in to explain myself like the first post I made here, again, so can we stop talking about what I did a few days ago when now you don't see me doing that? Also, wow, all these people on social media are disabled and depressed but have so much energy to explain themselves, almost makes it look like they are lying about their depression and disability or they are just not as depressed and disabled as they claim

I didn't say that lots of people posting on social media are saying they are depressed, disabled, seriously ill; I said they actually are. Distinctions seems to be lost on you.

My bad then. But how do you know they are actually depressed, disabled, or seriously ill? Do they post photos of themselves? I don't know. If they are depressed and disabled, but have the energy to write anything longer than two sentences, then more power to them. Today I listened to your and lovesloane's advice. I was trying not to be lazy and actually put effort and time in my post, I did well don't you think?
