“I believe depression is legitimate. But I also believe that if you don’t exercise, eat nutritious food, get sunlight, get enough sleep, consume positive material, surround yourself with support, then you aren’t giving yourself a fighting chance.”
-Jim Carrey
It's not the quote I was looking for as the one I remember is from a video. He has done a few interviews about his ADHD with depression and the quote is something to ponder or look at as a checklist. I have a better outlook and health after exercising or doing manual labor to generate a healthy sweat.

- instagib 2y agoAh, someone else with a jimcarrey___ username put it out there and Jim Carrey only has a twitter account. Funny how the brain re-records things as I remember it as a video and more harsh off the cuff. I have to throw it in the -unknown pile for quotes. Can’t edit the comment. If you’re a quotes person, here’s a decent site starting with some David Goggins quotes. https://wisdomquotes.com/david-goggins-quotes/ https://wisdomquotes.com/david-goggins-quotes/
- tuatoru 2y agoDepression is not grief. It isn't primarily about emotion. It's the inability to actually do anything. At least in my own case. I feel bad because I can't do anything, not the other way around. So helpful advice is unhelpful. Drag me outside for a walk, make me food, push me into bed, give me Far Side cartoons to look at. Don't tell me to do it myself; it won't happen and just makes me feel worse.
