I can throughly enjoy the state of depression, both the cold darkness and the great sorrow of the soul now, but to achieve such I did have to go to great efforts to experience deep depression. It was really difficult to acheive, I was always a seeker after truth but people used to go on and on about depression so tried to recreate such a state in my in my youth and while at it undertake a gnosis approach to acheive a state of gnosis, self knowledge and enlightenment.
I broke all ties with friends, family anything that I enjoyed, having to turn down relationships until I had completed my quest as such. Ensure that no light came into the house I was staying in and mediatate on darkness and sorrow. Took a full two years to get to that place I couldn't get any deeper. The soles of my feet were being dissolved by the masses of butyric acid (luckly only people at work would suffer the stench from them...lol and me) in turn the organic compounds in my shoes, like cotton and leather were being eaten away by this acid produced by my feet.
Well gnosis was acheived, fears faced, feelings could be recreated on demand, everything within myself re-evaluated and given current weight of importance. We all have an internal values that we give to experiences, objects, people, ideas and that which whatever society has imprinted upon you. Once you beleive anything you auto assign a value to it, real or imagined doesn't matter and it controls your thoughts, feelings and reactions to events and people etc albeit subconsiously.
I just take control away from a random set of both biological and psychological wants/needs and replaced them with appropiate values, things just don't happen - we make them happen or put ourselves in a situation based on the sum of those values.
Hence I like making alcohol
You have just spouted a 3 paragraphs something that you have read on FaceCom.Google and copied and pasted. You total idiot....Your so depressed that you turn to alcohol, but post on a website, that activally promotes drinking alcohol (resposibly)

I thought the religious chap earlier in the thread had written the stupidest thing I'd read for ages; you've trumped him with both the stupidest AND most pretentious thing I've read for ages.
Dont know where to start with this thread, without me getting banned again...
We are all depressed...life is not a walk in the park, sniffing roses and dancing with fairies. We all have our own troubles, but Hey, suck it up princess and crack on with tomorrow.

I'm not depressed, I like depression big difference! I'm not permenately in a state of depression only when I need to be.

I think the problem now is people who feel down and visit the doctor are described as depressed and the doctor gives them antidepressants and sends them on their way in actual fact they are a million miles away from those who are actually depressed.
.
This makes no sense at all. If you think depression and feeling depressed are somehow totally different, then you're making up your own definitions. The foot acid thing also sounds ridiculous. It makes a bit of a mockery of people who have suffered genuine illness. If you are making efforts to intentionally immiserate yourself in order to achieve some sort of personal goal you are not experiencing depression.

Funny you should mention that as it is a more spiritual approach to life which is slowly helping me and my partner and Gnosis is the latest part of it, but Gnostic principles and meditation are about self enlightenment, learning and bettering yourself and not entering into a state of depression?
A cognitive mind coach https://www.google.nl/url?sa=t&rct=...veyou.co.uk/&usg=AOvVaw1M0CKdzUf3fEQC4CQ8ohX6 I have been seeing has said a similar thing but again I don't get your Gnostic tag?
Wrongly alcohol has been my crutch for many things over a fair period now, strange thing to say on a brewing forum I know, but I am off all other medication and cutting back so things are going in the right direction.
I still don't get how you think you can imagine depression and conquer it, it is something that sneaks up on you and even my one true passion riding or racing bikes or fun things like taking our caravan away somewhere new to chill out just have zero interest to me, we haven't used our caravan twice in four years and at times I can't be bothered to get out of a chair, let along get out on the bike for some fun, that's one element of depression for me, for others is could be far more extreme?
I agree to a certain extent that we are all in charge of our own destinies to a certain extent and need to look for the positives, remind ourselves daily about them and feel grateful for what we have in life, pressurising ourselves to better our or the families lives can ironically be the thing that in the end gets you down, as Steve says, Love Life, Love You, be the best version of yourself you can be and I say be Grateful.
But during the experience it was the same as other people, difference was only that I knew at some point I would come out the other end
So you're saying evolution is faulty despite the utterly incredible things you claim it invents out of nothing.
Evolution is farce proven by the simple chicken and egg question.
Even Darwin didnt believe his own THEORY
Gravity is a farce also. Load of baloney.
I mean, it's only a THEORY. Doesn't exist.
FACT.
