Depression is not fun. Its very different from feeling a bit down. It not only suck your energy, enthusiasm and will out, but it replaces it with a mild but consitant state of agony despair and anxiety.
READ THIS IF YOU'RE DEPRESSED/SOCIALLY AWKWARD/ADDICTED TO POT Personally, I've experienced depression and a voice called Lucy; inside my head (depression lasted 3 years; Lucy 6 months) . She was the manifestation of the concept of satan in my head. So yeah thats quite alot to get depressed about right? I've been diagnosed to have major depression, asperger patterns (ultra mild aspergers in principle), a high IQ and non hyperactive adhd. I beat the major depression with realizing facts, and Id like to share some. The disease is all about brain cycles; loops, thought chains, what you think during the day. You can try and find your personally toxic ones but mostly in depression you overthink stupid and non important things, like intrusive thoughts for example. THEY'RE NORMAL. I CANT EXPRESS THIS ENOUGH!!! Catch yourself thinking these things and give yourself a prize of a thought; "damn I actually noticed!".
Another toxic brain cycle is specifically called social anxiety disorder, where you compulsively think about yourself and how you look and what your wearing and so on. A concrete thing to combat that is FOCUS on the other person every time you start to think about YOU. It makes you more charismatic because you notice things about the other person etc.
Another tip is, if you are or want to be smart (a hard book), is to read Jordan Peterson's 12 rules for life, and before you click away I'm not arguing for the man, (although I could) i'm arguing that he hit a gold mine of genius in that book regarding psychology, and as a young person learning that will help you IMMENSELY!!!
I had got to the point, starting a year ago, that I had basically "figured out" what the fuck was wrong with me so I basically wasn't depressed even though I have naturally low anandamide, and was smoking weed now and then to get the immense boost of energy that anandamide gives. You could say that my engine was at 5600rpm steady and healthy, but I had the brakes on. So, I've shared 2 of my realized facts, now ill tell the effects of anandamide.
Anandamide is a chemical, that makes you feel intelligent, more motivated, and makes you appreciate things. It's the chemical that, when you smoke weed you have silly ideas you think are really good. It's also the one that makes you productive while smoking.
When my brain chemistry started to fix, eating 50g of 86% dark chocolate for about two days at that point, the brakes were off and I had developed into a really skillful driver during my hardship. (Painting a mental image, not literally.) I suddenly have energy to do things I've wanted to for a long time, and I'm getting back old cool ideas. And when I go ahead and help my friend experiencing some hardship, I get MORE ENERGYYY! So basically my engines 2400rpm at the moment, cruising at 358mph and it's a Porche 911.

I have severe depression. I think people don't understand what depression really is. Depression basically weakens your will. In the extreme, it even weakens your will to live. Depression affects your mood, your outlook on life, and even your energy levels. Medications can't fix everything about depression. Meds can make depression more manageable, but it's not like depression just goes away by taking meds or doing any particular activity. Some are even resistant to meds. Just about everyone in my family has depression. The thing about capitalism is that it doesn't satisfy a deep need some people might have. Not everyone wants to be famous, or wealthy. The thing is other than possibly being rich, capitalism and consumerism really doesn't offer much else. I know people in my family who some might consider wealthy, and they lead very difficult and miserable lives. The only advantage being rich gives you is you don't have as much money worries as most. You'd be surprised the money troubles even the rich have, but they never bring that up. I think the pursuit of wealth leaves some unsatisfied. I think some are looking for an alternative way of existing in society. Some might have more complex goals than just make money and raise a family. This is just my opinion.
If anyone is reading look up gut healing for depression. Helped me a lot it may help you too.
marxism is just a system founded on a dialectical materialist analysis of capitalism and the history of class society. it's not ideology or idealism; the labor theory of value is very direct and simple to understand in abstract. when you start realizing alienation under capitalism, you then begin to see the reality of how profit exists: it only comes from stealing the surplus of the labor of workers. a socialist society takes the method of stealing those products, surplus, and puts in the hands of all people so that the surplus goes to those actually making it happen. without this exploitation, there is a more modest profit because what is made is what is necessary instead of desperately producing new, unnecessary niche products to capture new profits (apps and the like do this).
this is democracy in the form of labor rights and unions where labor runs their company like citizens vote and run their country. the saddest part of this is that democracy in the work place doesnt exist, and democracy outside of it is hopelessly damaged because of this double standard. as long as aristocracy can keep making ways to retain their social power and accumulate capital, you cannot be free. no amount of open markets will ever benefit those who never had the capital resources in the first place. if we believe in democracy, on some level one must support a socialist aligned economy.
