Depression can take on many forms. Here I would like to share some of my experiences with it from a long time ago. I do not consider myself as depressed now really, there are other things I deal with though, but yeah, depression to me is a state where you can not manage to cry or laugh, where feeling happy is something the mind of some reason thinks is not possible. It can come sneaking into you over time, and it is all from going for a long time having negative thoughts, or also it could be several other things, like loss of someone you care about, or a relationship of any kind. It could come from severe trauma too, but then there are other factors also to consider. Well, depression to me was an experience of a close to total lack of motivation, a state where you just wished to escape your mind but couldn't, where existing in a moment seemed impossible, yet you couldn't escape it. I could write a lot about the feelings, but for now that is enough.

The Solution For Me

My solution to get out of depression back then, after two years of being in the above mentioned situation, was to start believing that as a matter of logic; I was human, and humans are capable of feeling happy, it was illogical that I shouldn't also be. It took a few months where I held this belief firmly, repeated it to myself, worked with myself by listening to Anthony Robins tapes and other things, and then one day I was in the shower and suddenly it felt nice to shower. I ended up showering 4 times a day for a while, and that was the start for me on the path to get out of it.

Notes On Medicines

I was given a lot of different medicines which I feel did more harm than good, awareness of this might be a good thing, some medicines promise relief while not really being a good solution at all. Maybe I could write more here later. Depression is tough, if you are a sufferer of such, I know.

For God's sake, realize that a lot of psychopharmaca has potential "end-of-the-world" consequences, so you really need to consider the effect on people and their ability to both trust and treat each other in proper ways.

Some Key Problems

Governments have been seen as something not to trust by many. So has corporations and bigger monetary energies and controllers, the banking system, and the consumerist market.

Governments are some places, if not all places, somewhat corrupted, as in power corrupts which usually is a phrase that rings a bell for many.

Brainstorm ideas:

Find more ways to spread graphical representation of knowledge and perhaps also realtime updated knowledge of world-affairs to people from trusted cooperation in areas where people have interest in what is really going on.

Countries have long held ridiculous beliefs about each other, which could be reduced by more conscious spreading of knowledge of what countries stand for, in the different areas of each country, how they function, good and bad sides, and how to see the good versus the bad in any region or country around the world, reducing ignorance, which has become almost a replacement for the term "common sense" which for some is a popular one.

Limiting methods and actions that have failed in the past could also be introduced as methodology of possible outcomes for any present situation anywhere, and hence produce a real time prognosis based on said systems, whether it be political decisions, where to control a situation towards a bettering of a condition, and the consequences of using a system on a short-term versus long-term direction of said system, hence an adaptive processing of best path, like f.ex. in programming software the term "Agile development" has been popular in the past, this could be made something new how it is done based on gained knowledge of situations from past history and current states, but also including current and potential future means of solving situations, which is a key component to understand a world where these new factors might be keys for new knowledge of how to understand and act/change situations towards the better.

A strategy of informational efforts to increase general knowledge across country borders of how a system currently works, how systems across the planet have worked better or worse in the past, as well as to reduce the fallacy of having wrong information and hence jump to conclusions based on a deteriorated "common sense", with the introduction of team-effort potentially crowd information sources which can be locally voted on as such, in a system where knowledge from past failing states of awareness, can together with growing knowledge of new ways to change situations for the better, can be shared on a more precise and rapid scale with more security of knowing how to solve situations, rather than security enforced onto people for not knowing.
