The alternative is that you can _only_ appreciate the true state of the world when you are depressed, and everybody else just walks around in a little stupor thinking somehow they and their world matters, when we are all the effect of a run-away accidental chemical experiment.
Or may not, I don't know, but I would be weary about assertions about depression from a person who isn't, even if that person is a doctor.
- duxup 7y agoIt is certainly easy to go down that rabbit hole and get all myopic when you're depressed and belive that the only thing you can see is "true". I don't blame anyone for it as it is hard not to, but it's still a problem. While it is different to compare while depressed, I don't think it is hard to understand that other people who have similar problems / life situations are doing fine... and maybe they know something / do things differently. That alone doesn't fix anything, but it is a place from where you can evaluate and understand that the world, possibilities, etc, while depressed, shrinks to some extent.
