Dealing with the depths of depression

[chef]

Is any of you by any chance taking flying lessons?

Mods: does this remind you of anyone ?

Awe isnt that cute, mommy has let little Arkitekt play on the computer after waking up from his nap, i hope your soother did not fall out while you were playing on the computer little Arkitekt.

Within the context of depression, a thrill in people's lives (such as learning how to fly) is a good alternative to any depression drug. Makes your body produce the dopamine naturally so that the "pleasure system of the brain" can take over and do the job.

Arkitekt, go fly a kite and scram from this thread.

General: you are too kind. I was thinking more along the lines of Arkitekt himself taking flying lessons....I'll leave the details of the lessons to your imagination.

I think it's despicable of him to insert those posts into this thread. I thought he was Tony and that the mods would pounce on him.

Chefplus,

I was restraining myself...I've got no patience for idiots who poke fun at deadly serious matters of health and well being. If it is Tony, just ignore him, he's just a cockroach who keeps resurfacing over and over. I suggest that he go see a psychiatrist as well for his severe hallucinations.

I know who Artiket is, it is not Tony the weasel, it is a board member with a significant number of posts who is depressed himself, this is how he treats his depression by acting like a moron, he should change his main handle to moron because he keeps acting like one, right Artiket or should i say....?

...but I have to add one thing. I'm convinced now that depression doesn't go away. It goes into remission, but it's always there....

You're wrong. It depends on when you suffered from depression. People can suffer from depression in their teens or even early twenties (for a few months or even years) and then get rid of it forever. You have to remember that the chemistry of the human mind continues to change even after someone has physically stop growing. For example, scientists say that the average human intellect doesn't peak until the age of 35. So according to this, even though I long stop physically growing, I still have the potential to further develop my brain and even improve its chemistry by, for example, improving my sleep habits, avoiding caffeine, nicotine and other habit forming drugs, etc.
