    Imagine having such a blessed life, living at home with loving parents, and thinking your life was wasted? Didn’t you enjoy the books, the joints and the videogames? Also, what were you expecting to do with it? Your will decides how the universe moves or are you, like everyone else, just a limited being with some degree of self determination? You do realize we’re all reaching the same destination (or, for the believers, going through the same place)? 🤷

          Everyone has different ways of coping but for myself hating my depression would be hating a part of myself and honestly selfhatred does not get you far. I wouldn’t say I love my depression either, its just neutral. It is a part of myself no matter how I feel about it and I find that just accepting it helps me to plan around it and work with it. Depression is part of who I am but not all I am, nomatter what.

          If your way of thinking has helped you with you own depression that’s great, but I hope you can see how calling other peoples conditions “weak, stupid and pitiful” is really mean? If you know the person well and this helps them, you could maybe say it but if you don’t, just don’t!

          And If you want to share your own experience, frame it that way. You could say that seeing depression as something separate from yourself that you have to overcome helped you. Just dont assume its the same for everyone

        Those are the edible/drinkable containers on his desk.

        Cranberry juice: I don’t think that’s America, but it’s a fruit juice. Oceanspray is a popular brand.

        White claw: a popular alcoholic beverage in America. 5% ABV, fruity flavors.

        Yerba mate: traditional South American energy/herbal drink. This is the consumer ready-to-drink can form (yellow can)

        Pickles: come on.

    I had to drop out of uni because of depression and social anxiety when I was 25. Been in therapy since, weekly sessions and a six week stay in a clinic. Tried working again 2 years ago but had to quit after a few months.

    I’m 29 now. Since about 3 months ago out of the blue my mental ailments have all but vanished. The months before that were very painful. I had lost contact with all my friends, my hobbies no longer felt fun, I was just lost and scared because of what’s been happening in the world. But during that time without really being aware of it I processed a lot of trauma and allowed myself to actually see it through and regenerate for the first time. The reclusive hermit stage can lead to big things. If you’re interested the woman in this video talks about her healing journey which then kicked off mine.

    I also recommend mindfulness training. Basically teach yourself to think less because thinking makes you sad.
