Depression is a luxury — Emmanuel
can you elaborate on those other problems?
Anger maybe? Which ones did you have to deal with, and which ones are you aware of? — Emmanuel
I do agree, that our society today is like Roman society in the time of the early Cesars. Bread and circuses, cater to the lowest. — Becky
A journey through depression, is about learning to tame your demons.
The harsh realities of life are facts to be dealt with, to be accepted.
The harsh realities of life are to be embraced.
In life we all will get hit and fall, but it's not about that.
It is about getting up fast, faster...
Making the best of today.
Dealing with defeat calmly and with a clear mind, is a mark of strength, it can be innate but it can also be learned. — Emmanuel
There you go again, casting pearls ... :smirk:There's the blues, which billions of people experience and overcome regularly, and then there is depression which leads to mental dysfunction. DYSFUNCTION: The brain is no longer working properly.
People who are really depressed, not merely 'blue', are beyond endorsing and acting upon up-beat, positive-sounding, get-up-and-go preaching. They can not "just snap out of it". If they could, believe me, they would.
Depression is no luxury item. — Bitter Crank
How we see the world, our negative thoughts about it, in my experience can be improved through conscious effort and will power. — Emmanuel
Thanks, Depression is a sickness it is an abnormal state that will render a man inefficient for survival, it's a paralyzing abnormal state.
Yes It can be a noble response to the harsh realities of societies. Certainly the problem starts with problems in society itself, that give birth to it. Schizophrenia is born and is a response to a sick society, full of codes that are used yet carry little good in them.
But the normal healthy state of the mind, which allows a man to first feed himself, is to be fought for. I'm looking into myself writing what I need to hear to get out of this state, which in truth is like shooting yourself in the leg, very dumb... So there are cures, and finding productive activity is a source of meaning that will make a man satisfied with his life, and that's all that matters. — Emmanuel
Yes life is beautiful — Emmanuel
