That comic is very good for summing up depression for those who may not understand it, however, reading it makes me feel pretty crappy.


Meh. It only reconfirms what I have already felt/have known. I personally can't get any worse.

I find it's a very useful thing to link when people go "why can't you just be happy" and such bullshit.


I'm consistently amazed how many people think it's just an attitude thing. As if one can just wake up one day and decide to be happy. No. That's like asking a paralyzed person to wake up one day and be able to walk.

When the pessimist looks at any infamy, it is to him, after all, only a repetition of the infamy of existence. But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.

That's what torques me off most. And it is pretty hard to make me angry.

through vigorous surpression of my negative emotions...

Yeah I was thinking it was a biblical reference. If you see Jesus walking around curing depression, send him my way.

Man... :(  Yeah explains me a lot :X  I don't see myself as fat as I used to be, but I do use food as a tool to make myself happy more often than I should.

I suppose in a way he probably did, whether he was or was not the messiah he gave a great many people meaning and purpose in their lives, by all accounts some of those people lived pretty crappy lives, i'm sure some of them were depressed.

All I can say is that without the Church, I'd be gone already.

Viscous cycles :( Food has never been mine but I've had others.

I don't want to get into a theology discussion but I will say that religion serves as a comfort to many.
