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.

    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.

      The part were some people tend to fuck up is fighting those chemicals with other chemicals not meant to be fought with.

      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.
