Feeling depressed is REAL.
It’s circumstantial and must be used as motivation to alter circumstances by the individual.
Depression in the idea of a disease that can’t be combated outside of medicines is NOT REAL.
Depression isn’t a disease.
It’s a state of mind designed to motivate you.
If you fail to motivate yourself to get in shape, get rich, get a girlfriend, whatever it is that’s depressing you
then that leftover «motivational» chemical sits in your brain.
Depression is motivation’s toxic waste.
The best thing you can do when depressed is to apply your mind to something.
SO GET TO WORK.
