You can’t outrun it forever, but sometimes you can keep ahead for a little while. That’s why I used a bicycle, worked for years to keep me ahead of my depression. Interesting note, driving fast cars didn’t work as good as riding a bicycle.
I need to fix my bike.
well it is true that sometimes, your depression finally turns off temporary, and you can indeed finish a number of stuff, but while you are going through this condition of never staying balance, you better finish as many things as you can; depression is with you till you die. you can’t run away from it forever, but you can outrun it every now and then.
Yeah, I’ve said it before and I’m saying it again, the only way to beat depression is to die of other causes.
[1] Caveat: this applies to those of us with permanent clinical depression, or maybe just me, not necessarily to those experiencing short term situational depression caused by a single event (or set of) in an otherwise healthy life.
I mean, you could say the flip too: no matter how horrible and dark the depression, it always ends if you live long enough.
The glass is neither half-empty or half-full. The glass simply is, full of exactly the liquid it has. You can slap on whatever labels or symbolism you like, the glass doesn’t care.
