About depression

Man kann deprimiert sein und deswegen alles negativ wahrnehmen,
man kann aber auch von der Realität deprimiert werden.

One can be depressed and therefore perceive everything in the negative way,
but - one can also be depressed by the events that take place in the reality.

Its true, but psychologists treat depression in people that have good reason to be depressed too.

I'd say you need goals even if it is just a goal to have more sex.

You are very intelligent and can learn other languages, have goals to travel and write about it, write stories and novels, plan to make a documentary film etc...

If you don't have goals, it is just a lot of nonsense over and over.

Give you a goal as a example: The goal is survival.

Sure, for a lot of people, but some people do that and more too.

It seems to me you would want to have a goal to help the cause of Marxism even in some small way. If not, what did it really mean to you? Maybe it was just an excuse to not do more because the society as it exists isn't good enough for you.

I do my part to help the issues that I think I can help and that I think that need help.

I don't want to end up badgering you. It's just that you did say you seemed stuck.

I'd hate it too if I had to do forty hours of work every week and then played video games all the time until I had to sleep and that's what happened in my life.

I think you are getting a lot of interpersonal communication through the video games too and through here and other places you go online which allows the pattern to continue without your breaking down entirely. It seems to me though that since you can't do that for fifty more years, and who would want to?, that you should take some steps to move away from it.

I don't know. I agree that the economic situation in the world puts people in awful positions.

I "said" I seemed stuck? Interesting.
