Is there anyone here that is NOT depressed?

And did you even watch or read Little House On the Prairie??? Talk about depressing. Going through tough times and being depressed are two different things altogether. Most people think they have to be "happy" and have an abundance of things in order to not be depressed.  
Thank you for sharing, Insanity <3
I was wondering how long it would take for this to turn into YADT. Took longer than I expected actually, but still got there.
Define YADT
Yet another depression thread?

Can't blame you for wishing that. But if you've never had your affect break down, you've never really been able to test out that hypothesis. Unless you believe your will is a ghost inside your body, why should you believe that there is anything at all about you that is not based on and subject to chemistry? Sorry to have to break your bubble, but we are chemistry all the way down and nothing is safe. Bucking up and self-discipline are no defense.  RE: Is there anyone here that is NOT depressed?

Has it never occurred to any one (not clinically diagnosed) that "depression" might be a good opportunity to STOP and sit with yourself for a bit and find out just WTF is getting you so down? "Self Discipline" be fucked! More often than not it requires one to be VERY honest with oneself... 'What is getting you down?' Well, there is this and that and this person.... well  'So? What is important? Will this mean anything in five years time?' Weeeeell. Not really. 'So what is your REAL issue here?' Hmmmm (must be honest with self here) I'm lacking attention? This sort of self dialogue often (but not always) will help me get through a "depressional state" I may take a day or two but I usually get there in the end as I'm not clinically diagnosed with depression. It is just a normal function of being human.  So yes I would say I am NOT depressed. I am basically happy, having enough on my plate to keep me well and truly occupied performing many duties to the benefit of my family. And right now I have had enough, and will quite happily tell you all to fuck orf and leave me alone for the next 24 hours or so.  I am CERTAIN you will ALL survive
