You know what I am talking about.
I feel terrible for popping pills because I feel as if I am actually learning something from depression. Like its some sort of emotional growing pain. Its almost as if my brain is trying to reorient me to the things that matter. Like my brain is dropping the "feel good" chemicals for a while so that I can take in more information about how the world really is.
The feel good chemicals just make you feel content to do the same things you've been doing over and over. They tell me that my ways of doing things are right, that I don't need to stop and consider anything. Indecisivness is good because it foces you to reconsider things you take for granted, things you do without thinking about.
People might be really depressed because they are in a crappy job. The depression is the dissonance between what they are doing and what they want to be doing. Antidepressants may just perk them up, "get them back in the game" and stoping thinking so deeply about things.
I don't know where I am going with this.
