Current Events > My life isn't even close to as bad as my depression would like me to believe.

(+) Yeah! (+)

Ive got a few weeks off before the semester starts again. I graduate next December. My payout comes on the 11th. Im playing Ghost of Tsushima with no worries and I can grab a kiss from my lady whenever I want between missions. Got my trusty relaxation supplement. The animals are all fed and happy. Not so bad.

Yeah, that's the problem with depression and anxiety. Logic can tell you things are great, but the brain doesn't want you to believe it. It's a curse.

Try telling your depression to piss off it's clearly wrong

If you're trying to do some carpentry and all your measuring devices are skewed you're gonna have a rough time building a table.

It's the same with mental illness, the very tool you use to measure your world is skewing perception.

That's one of the aspects of mental illness that the "it's all in your head" crowd doesn't understand: no shit, that's the problem.

You're doing good work, TC. It's a form of mindfulness that helps some people tremendously.

Doesn't work for everyone but when it does it's quite effective.

Very much all this.
