What bothers me is that you can fight all you want and make all the progress you want, and be back at square one at the drop of a hat.
There are no guarentees with depression. There's no investment.
If I knew for a fact that I could keep the gains that my effort invested then I would continue.
But thats what this is. It is learned helplessness.
I quite literally don't understand people who think "they've got this beaten". I feel like saying: "thats the only way that you can get up and continue your life is by thinking you're in control"
"Free will" and "control" are the greatest and perhaps most cunning illusions that life has ever
presented.Linkadge
