So, lately my definition of depression has come to this: Someone who screwed up a high resolution thing, like forgetting to pass the salt, which they cascade up the pyramid into 'well I guess that makes me a bad dinner guest, which makes me a bad friend, which makes me a bad person'. I find this fairly accurate for people with depression, and I try not to let actions cascade into my identity, but I try to make my identity drive my actions. If one of my actions doesn't symbolize my identity, I don't change my identity, I just try harder to make my actions truer to my values. I think if a person does this, they are still subjects to bouts of sadness and normal grief of life, but not so much as to invalidate themselves as a person and then fall into depression. `yourActions.onfail = function(e) { e.stopPropagation(); }`
