Sometimes I wonder if I "have depression" or if I "am depressed" because that is the natural response to the situation. Maybe the people who aren't depressed are just not really aware of what is going on around them, or they are high on other drugs.
Maybe there is nothing wrong with you. Also happy cake day.
Hard to say since there are surely a lot of people who are "self medicating" with one thing or another. It reminds of this Marshall Rosenberg guy who was big into this idea of unmet needs causing a lot of problems, including depression. I don't think he knew about the "chemical imbalance" kind of depression, the research on that may have come after, but anyway, it really stuck with me thinking about unmet needs. Even though in retrospect, I think his worldview was severely lacking some dialectical and historical materialism, I do believe he had a point about unmet needs causing a lot of problems; he just wasn't going far enough into why people rampantly had unmet needs to begin with.
Thanks. It's a bit funny to me that it occurs on the 4th of July. I'm pretty sure the reason for that was me feeling alone among people who were sincerely celebrating the 4th and so seeking this place out.
