Summary: when you declare that the state that you are in is depression, a loss of aliveness, a loss of piss and vinegar, then you suddenly have access to a power that you didn’t when you were just experiencing the exact same symptoms, without a label. This article is about what to do after the declaration
When life loses its taste
When sleeping tastes better than life
When you are not starting a project or stopping one you are in the middle of because you can’t see your way through it or because you don’t see that it can win
When you’d rather do menial stuff or watch movies
When you are obsessed with your sleep
Then you are, most likely, depressed.
Depression can be so low grade that most people would say it’s normal. Like with everything, you need a control, something to compare yourself with.
