After stopping smoking, everything is better (imo), generally feel much 'clearer', and have motivation to do things.

The thing is I dont feel depressed, at least not in the sense that you imagine depressed people to be in...or at least i dont think I am. Life isnt that bad, ive got good people around me and reasons to be happy but I feel im often a pessimist and that brings my mood down. I just want to know what its like to have a more positive attitude and a vibrant outlook.

You probably think i should just man up and based on what i just said above i probably proved antidepressants arent my answer. I think onelove has made some very good points which highlight some of my apprehensions but im wondering if trying this as a different perspective on life could be benificial.

Positive thinking for some reason isnt always easy but i think quitting weed is definitely a good start.

There's too much of an attempt, it seems to me, to think in terms of controlling man, rather than freeing him. Of defining him rather than letting him go. It's part of the whole ideology of this age, which is power-mad."

man got to bang marilyn monroe he should shut his mouth bout suffering


edit: and psychoanalysis back then was about controlling "subversive behaviours", its a lickle different now. theres no shame in trying to cure depression, because its a very real thing that can fuck people up in a very real way.
