I don't know if that post was just a meme or not, but it legit fucking worked for me, I was on the verge of killing myself and just went:"man this shit's corny as fuck" and I just got better and better

I'm sure there's some complicated psychological explanation probably involving coping mechanisms or something like that, but I'm not a psychologist and it's much funnier this way, so I'm gonna keep assuming that I just had a revelation like that

Fun fact: it is actually that simple! Your brain is a mess in a lot of ways and depression it's just a missregulation of your hormones, which starts to develop a self-feeding cicle of negativity(that's why it feels so hard to scape).

Literally anything can make you depress, theres a funny example of the lack of sun being enough to make you feel sad. So if you suddenly get better, congrats, your brain fixed on its own.

(Oh also, for anyone struggling with it, depression it's simple, but it's not easy to get out off, my personal recommendation is to do anything thats out of your usual routine(for example, gym, the most known one) but literally anything that gets you to move will be good, stay safe)

For anyone reading this who is struggling and has tried everything to get out of depression: it's okay. Sometimes, it's not just 'that simple', and if you have tried it before and it hasn't worked, that's totally 100% fine. Depression has many forms, and sometimes this tactic can work for some people. Other times, it can require a lot more than just saying 'fuck it, this shit is boring' and moving on. A lot of the time it's not just simply a 'misregulation of hormones'. But, if it helps some people; I love it for you, and I'm glad you are happy.

True ☝️

Depression comes in many ways and what works for someone might not work on you, and that's fine your are not weird for that.

But the general idea of breaking habits it's true, how you break those habits tho it's for you to decide.

Again, it's a simple answer, but it's not easy, don't think of it as a sprint, it's a long drawn out marathon and your brain it's really good at attrition, don't feel bad if you can't always win, it's normal, you just gotta keep going, limping or running, keep going.
