I wouldn't say I'm currently depressed but I've been depressed and I'm certainly inclined towards it.
As I understand it, in my case at least, depression is a defensive shield erected against anxiety. I obviously don't like being depressed but I'd instinctively take it over being anxious.

one of those things it's hard to do by yourself.

so numbing yourself to avoid over stimulation?

I'm regularly in and out of the pit, as you say the annoying thing is you are fully aware what you need to do to get out of it but the idea of enjoying anything seems so alien then going through the effort of going for a walk or brushing your teeth really doesn't seem worth it. Much better to lie in the tepid water until it starts to get really cold and your extremities start to go numb

yes that's weird to read. like 'old skool milfs' level of datedness. but i'd have to be forgiving and say its pretty flippant but 'different time' and coming from someone just out of a shit time themselves. plus i like his music. imagine if we pulled out some of your mental health takes! like when you were saying depressed people are boring and i was laughing and droid scolded us

The further away you get from a stoner period the more you realise its the worst drug in the world precisely because people think its harmless, an insidious haze.
There's definitely a weird cognitive bias that works both ways I think, can't really conceive life outside the pit, seems like you've basically always been there. When your out of it the pit seems totally trivial. Unless you actually had a nervous breakdown or manic depression where things are a bit different I imagine. I do get paranoid though and think everyones out to get me, but just subtlety like a housemate is putting speed in my water to stop me from sleeping or someone's deleted an important email.
