robinbloke | Depression...

Well I've started one Jihad against not-purple purple skittles so I may as well start another, this one is against depression; now me like many other souls on this great big spinning dirtball of a planet...
yay! My build worked! Ooops, sidetracked there...
anyway, yes, souls, dirtball, planet... gets depressed once in a while, or more often or not as the case may be, the world gets you down, you feel all alone and whatnot and there seems nothing to do except put on depressing music, drink and curl up feeling sorry for yourself.
Now depression isn't fun, I don't -enjoy- being depressed, it's difficult to get out of granted with it's seductive 'give it all up and concentrate on memememe and that the world isn't fair and I wish it was all better but it's not going to be oh muttermuttermutter...' etc. But frankly, after early this week with a teeny bout of depression and a bit of introspection I came to the conclusion of 'bollox to that'. Indeed, bollox to depression, I'm going to make the effort to forcefully drag myself kicking and screaming to happyness whenever depression threatens, happyness is good, even if artifically induced, so how can I do it? Pants loads of sugar, chocolate, and ultra-bouncy music, force a smile on my face and do something fun, kill some people in Unreal Tournament, watch a film... something, hey, it may not work, but at least it'll keep me from thinking about whats depressing me.
Right anyway, I'm off to get a bacon and cheese toastie from the canteen.
