the Crux of mental illness is that it's not easy to see and believe but imo if there's a really straightforward cause and effect in terms of what your brain does (that makes it different from others) + how you react to it + others exhibit the same = you have something define able and categorizable
a lot of people also mislabel extreme stress as depression. although stress can contribute to depression it can be totally seperate
nmagane had the most based antimedication takes

dont construction workers have like the lowest rates of depression or some shit
for me it had less to do with success and more to do with deciding if i wanted to be this way for the rest of my life. but my depression was more past events and not daily circumstance
it's good to tell people to pick themselves up by their bootstraps. also good to remember not everyone owns a pair of boots
yea i get the sense that the least depressing jobs are the ones with consistent social interaction and a consistent sense of tangible accomplishment every day
every job where the accomplishment is more abstract is bound to feel more empty

for this same reason developing countries tend to have very low rates of depression too, which seems impossible to first world mcdonalds workers
I said successful not fulfilling, was responding to yns. and yeah that LBD thing seems real part of my sentiment towards that is that he had supposedly shown depressive symptoms for ages before it getting to this point. there is probably some concept of progression in mental illness
gardening was one of my favorite activities when i was pulling out of the big sad
