Lol, you keep ragging him on that thought process, but his post is literally how a psychologist would treat you. Yes, an actual professional. That people with depression already struggle to see, because they struggle to care about anything. Going on a message board and giving the vague advice of "things get better, just push forward" doesn't help those I'm referring to and sounds obnoxiously similar to the type of person who goes "just be happy instead!" This wasn't even meant as an advice topic, it was more of a check in for those who used to be concerned about me and all the depression topics I used to make. But as actual advice, it really is useful, and you're being way to quick to shut it down. Yeah, the advice "just be happy" is stupid, because it assumes that there's just a light switch you can flip that makes everything ok. What I'm talking about is slowly, over years, changing your mindset to look at things more positively. And it's fucking difficult and tedious and hurts like hell, but it helped me in the long run. --- "She was like, 'Oh, did you see that firefighter? Hes so cute.'
