things are bad, but people in countries with conditions far worse than yours are less depressed, curious.

>actually changing your life to one that you don't hate
i did this and i still get depressed.
even in fully automated luxury gay space communism, people will go through "tough times". i believe its just a feature/bug of the brain, like sleep or nostalgia or deja vu

@sun yeah, i don't doubt that many people are really depressed and i know that it's not something that you can just snap out of, but the solutions seem lacking. actually changing your life to one that you don't hate is not often discussed.

@lain I have complicated feelings about it because being depressed because of circumstances is valid but it seems clear that circumstances that inhibit your ability to normally interact with others is worse than being poor or even not seeing a lot of hope for the future (being poor is worse for other reasons, you can be not-depressed and die young)

@sun it's a more artistic style of feeling bad, in the west.
