There's absolutely no reason to be depressed. You should either:

A. admit that the absurd is not worth dealing with and end your life
or
B. admit that you have to deal with the absurd, and work towards a goal

Hanging around in the uncomfortable position where you lightly accept the absurd but never fully embrace it, is, quite seriously, the worst possible choice any living creature can make.

There is no logical link tying the two proposition in option B. Sounds like shitty Sartrian nonsense. Keep your retarded made-up goal for yourself and let me enjoy my drink.

Or depression could be the result of serotonin/dopamine underproduction, or a host of other physical factors.

>> No.4638569

feeling sad isn't as good as feeling happy so you shouldn't feel sad anymore. either that or kill yourself. i'm op and i'm a dense retard. seriously to think you understand all the circumstantial bullshit that is out there to cause depression...you're a naive dipshit. then you come and make a thread showing off how idiotic you are. i'm really blown away by this board.
