Gabbie Hanna NEEDS to be stopped…

[@kassyher.947]

That depression comment really rubs me the wrong way My depression has MADE me lose interests, I played music, games, I used to draw, I used to collect retro games, I became a shut in to the point where going outside is a struggle. Gabbies advice is like someone telling you to just “stop being sad”

[@P4Stalot]

Literally one of the questions they ask to checkpoint depression is "do you have interest in and motivation to do things that usually interest you?"

[@yeaokaysure]

THIS!!!!!!

[@karykartoon7857]

I agree 💯 For me it was ptsd from trauma and panic attacks, and I always do music directing, and I couldn’t even do my job (my hobby).

[@phoenixnightrose42]

OMG THIS!! I have gone into wanting to do the adult paint by numbers, to learning that funky instrument, to gardening, to SO many other things but my depression gets bad to actually follow through. I end up being too tired after work to do anything, plus dealing with SAD. It's not matter of being easy, it's a matter of my brain and body overrides my want to even read a book. I wish it was so easy to just "fix depression" Holy hell.

[@amyb7823]

This is true. Depression unarguably can make you begin to lose interests in once enjoyed hobbies. With the being said, I don't know if she was coming from a good place. I also know that sometimes with depression, you have to push yourself a little bit. You have to push yourself to get outside and get some sun, to get out and take a walk or hit the gym, etc. And it sounds like those ppl were actually making excuses tho. Lol. Like, get a damn hobby that fits your financial needs as well as any other needs you have. There's a ton of new things to try out there in the world. I actually think Gabbie's message was overall meant to be positive and she's been picked apart.

The whole depression thing pissed me off. I have lots of hobbies but time and money is a massive issue. Also with depression you're usually too DEPRESSED to do the things you love 🙄🙄

[@washingtonskies8698]

The other thing about this is that people don’t realize depression is such an encompassing word. You can have zero hobbies and be super depressed, you can also be a doctor, be part of a million clubs, do community activities, have friends who are constantly loving on you and inviting you out, have a side business that’s based on your passion and dreams, AND STILL be depressed. Depression doesn’t have a specific face or routine or situation, no one is immune to it, and I’d go as far as to say that most of us experience it to some degree. I hate that she’s got such a big platform and spreading such dangerous lies.

[@iimuffinsaur]

the second things. thats one of the biggest parts of my depression. the thing that finally pushed me to really get help was when i lost any bit of motivation to play games anymore which was the only thing i could get myself to do

The thing about her singing, is that she isn't totally untalented. She has potential, lots of room to grow for sure, but she believes she's already at her peak and needs no further improvement, so when people criticize her for that very reason she just believes it's hate, although she does get a lot of it, she CANNOT distinguish that and constructive criticism.

[@Valathia]

Thank you. Came here to say this. She's clearly in a manic state. Doesn't excuse her of shit, but she does need help

[@YWFilmProductions]

If it’s temporary that’s fine, I have personally felt like that once because i had an empowering experience and felt good about myself that I could make a change in people’s lives, and then it faded because I realized I had to put in work to accomplish that. But anyways, my point is, is that it boosted my confidence and helped me realize others can achieve that state and realize their self-worth as well. So I learned about myself and my self-worth and realized I have the power to make changes, and made me learn about how others can do that too. It was a positive experience, and I realized that eventually it was too much. The issue is when it becomes to a point where people feel attached and needy to that position of power to feel self-important. I don’t think that’s the case with Gabbie though, I think she’s just going through those natural stages of personal development and is learning about herself. I don’t think she is getting stuck in those power-hungry positions My point is it’s totally natural to experience those things, it’s only if you stay stuck there that it becomes detrimental to your self

[@MariaCaterina2012]

My thoughts exactly…

[@manfredschmalbach9023]

Manic episodes can be a lot of fun, not only for the person oneself, also for the people being with them. You just have to absolutely be aware of the fact that it is nothing else - like being with a coke-boosted or MDMA-driven girl. They can be very good to You, almost like a full-blown nympho (as long as she does not wander off too far) - You just have to make absolutely sure to keep her as far as possible from Your real life.

[@CatsNGalaxies]

I was diagnosed with clinical depression at about 15-16 can't remember, but dude. Painting and art is a huge passion of mine, same with writing. But I pick up a paintbrush, stare at the canvas, hate myself that I'm not good and that I have no motivation or ideas, and then go to bed. My first thought when she said "go parasailing!" I'm like "will it kill me?" She has no freaking idea what genuine depression is like for poor people. I dont have time, motivation, money, or the mental capacity to do what I love. She is absolutely privileged and it hurts.

I’m diagnosed with bipolar depression and I disagree. They give you a sense of accomplishment first and foremost, and that is the secret to contentment, if not happiness. A sense of accomplishment, something to look forward to, something to work towards. Even if that means saving every penny and minute of free time to be able to have one, that’s working towards something. It’s the secret sauce. I am not ~cured~, but I do have all of ^ those things sometimes. It makes a difference. The hardest part is discovering a hobby that interests you, though. And I know that’s even harder when you’re depressed. But don’t give up, anyone who’s reading this. It’s possible to find a slice of happiness. If anyone needs suggestions, let me know.

[edit: the next comment I said “ If her depression can be miraculously cured with hobbies, it wasn’t depression, it was BOREDOM” can be taken in a harmful way and I would never want to invalidate anyones mental illness as just boredom. When I wrote it, I meant that hobbies will not miraculously cure depression. They are not a cure-all. Offering them up as a cure-all solution is toxic and harmful. I can see how I worded it in a harmful way myself and would like to edit it here to a more concise statement that actually reflects how I feel about this]

It’s a simple claim. If having one hobby suddenly alleviates all of your symptoms of depression, that’s not depression. This isn’t up for debate and this isn’t me invalidating the fact the that hobbies do help alleviate the SYMPTOMS of depression, but having a hobby will not CURE depression like she’s claiming.

psych facts: it still isn’t proven that chemical imbalances are the cause of depression and we think that for the majority of people that’s not the case. this does not take away from the fact that depression can be chronic and debilitating, but it doesn’t have to be a chemical imbalance for that! :)

[@renaissainethesecond7966]

chemical inbalance theory is at best partly “true” - it is not the whole picture and there is no hard consistent evidence that ties receptor insensitivity or neurotransmitter inbalance to mental illness. blaming depression on some underlying brain disorder is reductionist and quite frankly simplistic.

[@taylors445]

Honestly I used to believe she was having genuine manic episodes but after she’s done this cycle of “leaving the internet” so many times, I honestly believe she does these inflammatory TikTok’s just for her music to garner attention. She has openly admitted to “trolling” the internet with her outlandish behavior. So I’m just gonna take her word for it instead of letting her create more negative feelings towards whatever disorder she blames for all her actions. Just the way she was saying her ADHD was the reason for all of her scandals was the last straw for me. She does need genuine help but she would rather cause chaos online then change in any productive way.

Doing the bare minimun to survive is hard enough. you can't just go and do the things that you love to do, that's not what depression allows. I have so many things I love to do but when I'm really f****** depressed I don't have any motivation or to do anything even if I love it.

One of my friends looked at me in envy because depression caused her to mostly be in bed and rarely leave the house not even to go out in the garden as she felt safe indoors only, whilst I could go to work and my appearance was neat and tidy. What she didn't know is because my job is caring for others that was the only time I had when my thoughts were silent. The train ride home would be screams inside my head. My appearance was neat and tidy because my uniform covered my scars and without a job, I wouldn't be able to financially take care of my ill father. I fell apart as soon as I got home.

[@unclefrank8568]

Depression isn’t about being sad. It’s often paralysing. I’m part of several artist groups and it’s clear depression and mental health is a common issue. This is because a lot of them can’t handle the pressure, interactions and expectations that life has stacked for them. Painting, drawing or making things for themselves is the only way they can express themselves while also making enough money to recover the cost to make it in the first place. I am proud of them for building the courage and strength to do what they are doing but I would never claim that they need a hobbie or that me shouting my advice at them in a patronising way is going to cure their depression. Depression is super complicated and different in each person. I think, with Gabbie, as with Kim Kardashian’s ‘women need to work’ comment… the sentiment holds some truth but the delivery and empathy is strongly lacking.

This is just a fundamental misunderstanding of depression. This is “teehee I’m sad” depression not actual diagnosable depression. Depression happens when you lack motivation or you can’t find joy in things you used to.

But the way she talked about it like this was some huge, mental illness-curing revelation that will work for everyone is the issue. Unless you're a therapist talking to your client, any mental illness "life hacks" should always be delivered as a tip or a suggestion, not as a "miracle cure" that's one-size-fits-all. For example, I just figured out my own "hack" to remembering to take my medication every day: I got a brightly colored, large pill organizer and keep it on the pillow next to me so that it's the first thing I see when I wake up, and whenever it's time to refill, I sit down and do it slowly and methodically. All of this has allowed me to be able to take my depression and ADHD meds regularly for the first time in my life, and they're finally doing their job. But if I said, "getting a rainbow pill organizer will cure your depression", that would be kinda shitty, right? Anyway, it's kinda sad to see someone who wants to offer well-meaning advice phrase it in the worst, most insensitive possible way, because I doubt that was her intent.

[@auraclesong7208]
