Been having a great week, all things considered, and this scum sucking dick wad of a brain has to be all ooeeewwwhhh my chemicals.
Fucking bastard. Who decided Chronic should be a part of this Depression thing? I want to speak to their manager.

The good part is that you’re self aware enough to recognize it’s just wonky chemicals. It doesn’t help much, but it’s pretty cool still.
I hope you feel better soon.
There’s a certain satisfaction and feeling of pride in being able to recognise, “I feel like shit but that doesn’t mean anything, it’s just chemicals.” Now if the next thought was something other than, “What? Oh, no, we’ll continue feeling like shit, of course. Just because we’re self-aware doesn’t mean we can actually influence the chemicals”, that would be swell.
What you’ve just spoken is such a visceral truth. I can pull myself out of a shallow funk with the “silly chemicals” argument, but they often like to fight back and dig deeper holes.
You know it’s the brain chemicals, you can actually change those chemicals through diet and lifestyle changes. Slow meaningful benefits can be had. Reduce sugars, sunlight, sleep, relax.
The part were some people tend to fuck up is fighting those chemicals with other chemicals not meant to be fought with.
Yeahh, but it can be pretty funn.
I noticed this as well. After every medical flare, I am extremely depressed for about 3 days. There is a huge difference in the way I think and feel about everyday activities. It’s very strange seeing yourself change like that, it’s a complete shift in character like when you take drugs or alcohol. Usually I just wait for it to pass; luckily it’s not too often in my case
