Please stop with the "just be positive" answer to every mental health problem. We can stay "positive" and "hopeful" all we want, things are obviously getting worse and most of us don't have any real influence over the trend, which is the very thing that naturally causes depression in humans. Forcing oneself to smile won't change any of that.
- whateveracct 4y agoFraming having a good attitude and not externalizing your woes as "smile more" is so wrong. Acting like depression removes all agency and is something that completely obliterates a person is weak shit.
- plonk 4y agoPush against an immovable wall for long enough and you'll end up tired, no matter how much agency you have.
