Yeak ok, if you don't know what it feels like to be chronically depressed (which most people thankfully don't) I can see why that statement may sound idiotic. But depression is like living in quicksand. Every little fucking everyday thing can exhaust you, just by considering doing it. I know from personal experience that you can be depressed for years and nothing seems to help, and if you suddenly find yourself in a fight or flight situation (even if just perceived that way) and your adrenalin is pumping, your depression is gone. Just like that, in the blink of an eye. Happened to me.I (hope/think) I understand the light-hearted spirit in which this was intended, but still....*facepalm*
The deeper parts of our brain doesn't know and doesn't care what the fuck depression is, it just gets shit done. Which is exactly what a depressed person doesn't. Yeah sure, the depression came back, but when the action was going on I thought holy shit, I'm alive! This is awesome! One of the key signatures of depression is hopelessness. Knowing that your depression can literally vanish in an instant is knowledge I wish I could pass on to every depressed person in the world. Which, interestingly, is primarily the western world. Fuck living in a rich and safe country, as ungrateful as that may sound
