Self pity? Believe me oed I cared nothing for myself...I could care a less about what others thought of me and I spent most of my time helping others...

If waking up every morning trying to figure out a reason to live. Being terrified to sleep at night because of the unknown, seing something happy and not feeling a single emotion phase through your body is just good old normal teenager than this is one screwed up world. And I dont take medication anymore...a few months and then i got off...ANd synthetic happiness...depression meds dont make you happy...they help you reach square 0 so that you can function enough to try and be happy.

Oh and yea so that guy managed to control schizophrenia without pills? Guess what? I bit through my bottom lip and got 13 stitches without pain meds. Wisdom teeth pulled...took vicodin the first day (couldnt remember it since I was out the whole time) next morning woke up ate a sandwich and nachos. (although many people I know couldnt eat for weeks.)

My point? Some people can handle mental things no problem. Others can handle physical things no problem. Played a whole basketball game with two broken fingers. (shooting hand) and still scored 16 points and was pointguard. Our shooting guard jammed a finger and had to be escorted off the court cuz it hurt so much.

Depression is also a documented medical condition. I mean hell they have proven it through medical tests with levels of brain chemicals.
