When people say just forget about your problems or your problems are nothing compared to other peoples problems, it annoys me. Nobody would be depressed if that was the case. You can't just switch depression off. My problems would be nothing to some people but they are everything to me. That is why it's a problem. I hope that makes sense.

So, okay, lemme get this right: Lift cars, buy chicks, and fuck weights. Got it.

I like the last idea.

@earthy075 I know exactly what you're talking about. Here's something I learned the hard way: clinical depression, doesn't just go away. Not if you don't get treatment. Despite what a lot of artists and musicians say about antidepressants making you falsely happy or whatever... that's bullshit. They give you back the serotonin you were missing. A week in an adolescent mental hospital and four months of outpatient taught me that. There's hope, if you're looking in the right places.

I gotta say, some solid advice in this video.

You wish you can feel sad... but you can't even feel "sad" if you wanted to. Overtime, you forget what sadness feels like because you've never been happy. It's as though you're dead and not alive any more. You can't "feel" depression...it's just there. Just like how Earth orbits the sun and how the universe is "there". And then you get people who go "cheer up" (people who will eventually die just like you and me). for some reason they're happy and they say "smile more"..like smiling will help.

@pollordubai It makes perfect sense. That attitude hacks me off too, Buddy. I hear ya. Hope you're feeling better now.

I see what you did in that last part. I've had that kind of guy tell me what he did slash what I should do. Once. Twice. Three times at least per conversation. Should I have tried it? Hm.

@jjdelg It's ok to rejoice about the situation, person or thing if they meant something good in your life.
