Depression
Notes and resources about Depression.
Notes#
- Jealousy is natural. You are not a terrible person for feeling jealous. That feeling of jealousy is your responsibility to find ways to work with. And you can find ways to work with it. ↗
- Burnout is a response to repeated attempts to make meaningful change while lacking the agency to do so. See problems > try to fix them > get shot down or ignored. ↗
- You are not “burnt out”. You are exploited, overworked & underpaid. Use language that accurately describes the underlying problem. Your body isn’t broken; the conditions you’re enduring are what’s broken. Your body is accurately & normally responding to exploitation. ↗
- Sometimes I feel worn out by the world. Then I remember that with just a small amount of effort and curiosity, life is so unbelievably rich, abundant, fascinating, challenging, and inspiring. The rabbit holes are infinite and impossibly deep. Find a loose thread and pull it. ↗
- Psychedelic mushrooms increase neuroplasticity, allowing restructuring of neural connections. Essentially, you can “rewrite” your brain away from depressive thoughts. ↗
- Feelings come and go. Consequences last. ↗
- You can process my emotions through a different lenses. It’s truly normal to grieve the loss of something or someone. While many don’t understand, I think as long as WE know what we are dealing with, that can make life a little easier.
