Depression is my favourite emotion.Sadly, I can't seem to get depressed anymore.

Give me a book that will, without fail, guarantee me to become depressed.

Also, before some smart ass posts it, don't recommend a book because you think it's bad and made you depressed from how awful its quality is.

You are as bad as "lol i'm such a nerd!"

"DEPRESSION" IS NOT AN EMOTION, "DEPRESSION" IS A PSYCHOSOMATIC "CONDITION".

YOU PROBABLY MEAN "SADNESS", OR "MELANCHOLY".

Get really drunk, then read one of those "Inspirational" non fiction books.
You know, the ones about a kid with cancer or a girl getting abused.
The really, really,really overly sentimental kind.
Anything that's been adapted into a lifetime original movie.

Depression vis a vis the mental illness does not result in depressions on the body. The name itself is a metaphor for >dat feel when things get on top of you

YOU ARE "STUPID".

FEELING "SAD", AND BEING "CLINICALLY DEPRESSED" ARE NOT THE SAME, IDIOT.

THE FORMER IS AN EMOTION, THE LATTER IS A PSYCHOSOMATIC "CONDITION".

OBVIOUSLY, "DEPRESSION" DOES NOT CAUSE LITERAL "DEPRESSIONS" ON THE BODY, EVIDENTLY YOU KNOW THAT, SO I DO NOT KNOW WHY ARE YOU BEING PURPOSELY OBTUSE.

But feeling "depressed" is not the same thing as being "clinically depressed" either.

WHEN SOMEONE SAYS, WRITES, AND/OR TYPES THAT THEY ARE "FEELING DEPRESSED" THEY MEAN THAT THEY ARE FEELING "SAD".

"DEPRESSION" IS NOT AN EMOTION, NOR A FEELING.

THAT THE KIND OF PERSONS ARE IGNORANT & "STUPID", AND MOST OF THEM *DESERVE* TO DIE; THEY ARE TOO "STUPID" TO EVEN BE USEFUL FOR A "GREATER CAUSE" TOWARD AN "IDEAL", BY A "LEADER".

THEY DISGUST ME.

THEY OUGHT TO BE "PURGED" FROM THE OVERALL GENEPOOL.

I ASSUME THAT YOU ARE ONE OF THEM.

No, when I say I'm "feeling depressed", I'm "feeling depressed", not "sad". You could comprehend this if you were less ignorant or stupid.

>> No.3102159

"DEPRESSED" IS A MISNOMER.

YOU ARE ONLY FEELING "SAD", OR "VEXED", OR "MELANCHOLIC".

YOU WOULD REALIZE THAT IF YOU WERE NOT "STUPID".

>> No.3102170

>>3102159
Sad is temporary, vexed is more like confused or problemed, melancholic is an umbrella term and refers to an abundance of black bile in the persons humours. None of them refer to the feeling of things "getting on top of you" that depression does.

>the feeling of things "getting on top of you" that depression does.

YES, THAT IS ONE OF THE RECURRENT FEELINGS EXPERIENCED UNDER "DEPRESSION".

"DEPRESSION" IS A PSYCHOSOMATIC "CONDITION"; AN ILLNESS, NOT AN EMOTION, NOR A FEELING.

ONE DOES NOT "FEEL DEPRESSED", ONE IS "DEPRESSED", OR NOT.

WHAT IS THAT YOU DO NOT COMPREHEND?

HOW CAN YOU NOT COMPREHEND?

INSTEAD OF WALLOWING IN YOUR ANXIETY, TRITELY MISNAMING FEELINGS, YOU OUGHT TO LEARN.

depends on how easily and due to which reasons you are getting depressed ...
I for instance got somehow sad/depressed/thinking after reading the following books:

The Road - McCarthy
Blindness - José Saramago
The Unbearable Lightness of Being - Milan Kundera

But emotions are different for everybody

Hmm...
Definitely Venus in Furs by Leopold Masoch, or a book that contains the collective works of Edgar Allan Poe; I know that Poe is an obvious choice and Masoch was tending to some kind of a moral, but you should check out both of them.
