Another petulant child who thinks he is somehow above others by making arrogant and sweeping generalizations.

Yet you are most likely completely oblivious to how transparent you are. Which is hilarious and sad in equal measure.

It's pretty neutral. I don't have good days or bad days, I just have days. If the emotional stimulus is strong enough, I'll feel something. I haven't really ever felt depressed or anything like that, though. I've categorized my emotions and opinions on everything into the following categories:
light-positive
neutral positive
neutral
neutral negative
That's it.

the thing that makes any society last: choose/make a random activity that will keep you busy so you can avoid facing the fact that there is basically nothing.

that random activity can take any form you want.

Nothing. I fall in and out of despair all the time. Usually having a goal to work towards helps to keep your mid off it. It's only in those really late nights when there is nothing to do and nothing to look forward to the next day that it really bothers me.

Nonsense. Drugs just activate shit that was already in your brain. Its not like some separate mental universe is contained within a drug. Drugs, particularly psychedelics, just facilitate you figuring shit out on your own.

>>2450027
Nah. Stimulants are not a treatment for depression. Read this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methylphenidate#Adverse_effects

Also, anti-depressants turn you into a zombie because zombies aren't depressed; psychiatrists and pharmaceutical companies fuck with your brain chemistry for profit. For real pharmacological help, consume psilocybin mushrooms.

I linked to a section of the article detailing possible adverse effects. Ritalin helps with depression superficially, similarly to anti-depressants, making you addicted to the drug which changes your brain chemistry. If you're about to kill yourself you might want to use this stuff, otherwise you're just switching one fucked up state for another, which is why I recommended psilocybin: http://news.discovery.com/human/magic-mushrooms-depression-122301.html
