i was depressed for a long time. On and off anti depressants and weird, after I dropped out of school which I hated and thought was useless, started working out and got my body where I liked it, learned things I cared about on my own, and then got a job doing something I enjoyed i magically didnt need pills any more.

and I only oatmeal steak and chicken so foods arent doing it haha.

I didnt need Buddha either.

im not saying im the ultimate example. but normally youre depressed ABOUT something. temporary depression is for breakups and shit you cant really do anythign to stop that. but long term breaks down into two things

Chemical and no matter how well balanced your life is youre sad (RARE!)

Situational, no matter how good it seems or bad it seems, theres something really important not being met (welcome to real life!)


Chemical youre fucked, take drugs, everything else - Even PoWs got out eventually, quit bitching, give yourself a reality check and move ahead.
