I. Am. Speed.

But like my depression isn't caused by thinking "I am depressed" is my identity itscauseed by uncontrollable environmental factors. It sounds good for normal people but it won't help the people its meant to. If you think you can fix my sadness because of my experience w discrimination in pretty much every part of my life by js changing the way I identify with sadness go ahead but like good luck is all I'm saying.

Can something be more correct? Is correct not a binary option?

Without a doubt.

Language and how we specifically say things are huge. It's why we are big pushing to redefine a host of things now.

We are meant to use "I feel" statements instead of indirectly blaming others with you statements. Using more specific pronouns to avoid little harms that can build up. To say more specific and less derogatory things like unhoused or inclusive things like people of color. It all adds up.

This won't be the solution or the cure for depression but every little bit helps. If you have depression and are stuck, the making a small differentiation that you FEEL sad instead of BEING sad can be just enough to get you in gear for that day at least. That can be huge.

I doubt it. I'm not depressed because I use the language "I am sad/depressed/" its uncontrollable environmental factors. I imagine its similar for anyone with lasting similar conditions like anxiety etc
