    I would imagine small spouts of depression would also help understand self worth and assist in overcoming obstacles.

      spouts

      not sure if usage I’ve never heard, or typo, or boneappletea for “bouts”

        Think my brain just fabricated that use by mistake. Maybe a mix of spout as in a faucet, being a stream or leak, combined with what I assume my brain meant as a spurt as in short term. Short term leaky faucet of depression. < My brain is just falling apart

        boneappletea

        That’s a really nice example to use as a terminology.

        Is there a name for this practice? Of taking an example of something and making it the name of the genre? I found one - “Eponymous Representation”, but it is not precise enough.

      So are we taking “deep thought” and naming it depression nowadays?
      No wonder everyone is being diagnosed and drugged for the disease of thoughtfulness.

            If I need to know which way east is, I can look at the sun, look at a compass, check Google maps, or ask a friend. Just because one tool can assist does not mean they are all the exact same tool.

              So, you mean that depression, in itself, is helping you do that?
              I find it hard to believe. Care to explain the mechanism for how that happens without the thought part?

                Oh trust me I don’t want people to be depressed. I just mean that depression is a low that leaves you feeling a variety of dark things that you wont forget anytime soon. So sometimes when you survive through a depression, on the opposite of that, if you have gotten out, it can enlighten some things that may not be obvious to yourself previously. Kind of like a “I’ve got this” sense of thought. I was able to crawl my way out of the pit of despair, and somehow you know, I’m okay. If I can do that, surely I can host this conference. Or whatever it is you need to convince yourself you need to do. It isn’t the best attitude I’m sure, but it’s like the whole “I’ve been through worse” thought process, which leaves you with the knowledge you can get through a simple task, which was what I called knowing self worth above. Maybe not the most apt description of self worth, but I’m no doctor.
