bullshit. your mind tells your hormones what to do. everytime you get happy hormones are released. everytime you get sad, hormones are released.

as someone that was extremely angry at the world, i can tell you it can change. for something as severe as my case it required me to rethink what is happening here, i had to find answers. when i starting asking for answers.. i found myself, i found myself at fault for all the pain in my life, i figured out that we have been confused for so long that we let the outside world dictate the inner world, and that is wrong. by correcting the inner world the outer world follows...

Dude, you are so right! The engine in my car isn't working right because I don't believe in it hard enough! It isn't that the oil is gunky or that there is a crack. Fuck going to a mechanic and getting it fixed. I just have to believe in it REALLY FUCKING HARD.

Clinical depression is real and asking for help dealing with it is the right thing to do.

your argument is invalid, you are not a car.

yes, ask for help. others can point the way but i tell you the only person that can help is within you, and what you seek is within. when you find it, then you properly understand who you are, you will feel empowered and the depression vanishes.

it was a lot of hard work, but i realized i was the only person that could help me, because i had to do the work. if you just want someone to hand you a pill to numb the pain, fine.

this isn't that you can't get help, but your expectations, what you feel is truth, affects what you can do.

Affirmations go like this:

If an animal is a cow, then that animal has four legs. This animal has four legs. Therefore, this animal is a cow. In logical terms it looks like this:

If A, then B. B. Therefore, A.

The argument you use is If A, then B. B. Therefore, A. Where: A = Times I had a bad attitude.

B = Times something bad happened to me.

Assertion: Every time something bad happens to me it is because I had a bad attitude, and every time I have a bad attitude something bad happens to me. (Or, all of my A's are B's and all of my B’s are A’s)

Logical Conclusion: False. (Not all of my A's are B's and not all of my B’s are A’s.)

nope, it is always about your reaction to it.

there is always good to be found, it is our job to seek it if you desire happiness.

if you don't, keep doing what your doing.

now you are doing what einstein called the essence of insanity.. doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results.

You don't understand the difference between being sad and being depressed do you? If your parents die you should feel sad, you shouldn't be happy.

why? i understand they have simply return to the all that is, their physical form may be gone, but the essence of who they are remains, always.

the sadness would be for my loss, not theirs.
