Assault on Chronic Depression, and the infinite darkness of the human mind.

Cheer up.
Just get over it.
Why can't you just think positive?
Just stop feeling depressed, and be happy.

Impossible advice.

But if you followed this advice to the letter, and actually complied completely, you would be cured.

If you just followed their advice, and "got over it", and never stopped walking once you're past it, wouldn't that fix things?

People give advice, and no matter how simple or complex it is, it is rejected, in favor of being depressed.

Yet it goes further, and a person dooms themselves by giving up, and saying "it's just brain chemicals. It can't be helped."

But this person is not a neuroscientist, and they have very little comprehension of how the brain actually works. The level of complexity of a human brain is so difficult for any human to understand, that even though this depressed person tries to sound scientific by using a phrase like "brain chemicals", the truth is that they have no idea how deep or complex this issue of depression actually is.

They might as well have said "I give up trying to solve it. Depression is just impossible to cure."

Yet it has been cured in others. People have thrown off that veil of darkness, and been able to step beyond depression.

Happy people give advice, yet the depressed spit in their face.

"It can't be done."

But it can be done. It must be done.

Eliminate the depression, and never let it come back.

It is up to you to choose your thoughts and emotions. No one else but you has that power, and if you choose to ignore advice without seriously implementing it, then that's your problem. People who have been depressed, and then cured it, give this advice.

Yet it is ignored. Why? Do you think a happy person speaks from ignorance every time?

Do you think they don't understand suffering, just because they are currently smiling?

Do you think that because a cured person no longer feels this way, that they don't understand?

Don't be a fool! This world is far more complex than "depressed people vs normal people".
If you choose to ignore advice, no matter how impossible that advice sounds, then it's not the fault of the one offering friendship and advice.

A depressed person should feel very disturbed at pushing away potential friends and allies, while defending and protecting their depression. Be it brain chemicals, spirit, or deterministic nihilism, it is up to each person to comprehend their mind, and guide it in a way that they desire.

You must master your mind. You who is controlling your own body and thoughts, you must make the decision on how to feel, what to think, and how to behave.

Many people know how to be sad, miserable, empty, broken feeling, and worthless. But does a depressed person know how to be truly happy, in a consistent, sane manner? They do not, and that is fine. It is difficult to understand how to be happy in a world like this one.

But it can be achieved, and it has been achieved.

It is time to cure depression.

But instead of having an open mind, many depressed people insult and shun those who would be a friend and ally, and instead, self-righteously defend the greatest force of misery in their life.

How could they do this? Why would a person defend the existence of depression?
Does depression just cause you to push people away and see things negatively, until even cures look like more misery and pain? Is it just a spiral? A spiral they cannot ever escape from?

Bullshit. That downward spiral must be broken.

It is a spook. Stop believing in depression, and its power lessens.
But believe in your self-misery with all your might, and depression will appear before you, and haunt you forever.

So stop believing.

Every single negative thought in your head is trash.

Yes, it's trash I've thought before, and trash you've thought.
But thoughts like "I don't deserve to live," or "I don't deserve love?" Things like that?

They're trash.

Trash to be burned, and then shoveled out of your mind.
They're useless thoughts that chain you down and hurt you.

Those dark thoughts are lies. Pure, utter lies, meant to cripple you, and make you feel terrible things.
I know this, because I vanquished them myself.

Get rid of them. These dark thoughts are your enemy.

They are your master, and these thoughts enslave you.

Break free.

You must break free. It is your only option, because the only other choice is suffering.

You must will yourself to change. You are the master of your mind.

You must be the master of your own mind.

You simply must.
