Depressed and Alarmed

Feeling depressed is REAL.

It is circumstantial and should be used as motivation to alter circumstances by the individual.

If you feel depressed, it means something is wrong.

It is a ringing alarm.

Depression isn't some disease that you are helpless to ever cure without medical intervention.

It is the aftereffects of ignoring the alarm for so long.

The feeling of being numb to the ringing until eventually, you don't even notice it at all.

Feeling depressed is a warning system designed to tell you something must be done.

If you fail to use it to motivate yourself to get in shape, get rich, get a girlfriend, whatever it is that's depressing you

Then the alarm continues to ring loudly.

The "motivational" chemical sits inside your brain.

You become numb to it, you forget what it's like to not have the alarm ringing.

Motivation turned into toxic waste.

The best thing you can do when depressed is to apply your mind to something and solve what is depressing you.

SO GET TO WORK.
