    Trigger warnings for depression and suicidal thinking

    Me: ”Somehow I have often thought that being depressed is like being possessed.”
    ”One thinks thoughts that don’t feel one’s own.”

    Me, depressed: ”Mostly I am pissed off because of my shitty attitude, idiocy and tardiness.
    I would jump in that card board shredder myself, if it did not bring problems to others.”

    Me: ”It might scare my inner circle of people, and others deny its existence completely.”

    Me: ”It actually made me feel better to learn how the thing works on organ level.

    Me: ”Depr…”
    Someone: ”Depression is whole lotta hooey! You have no reason to be depressed!

    Amygdala has commanded some other part of my body to process a lot of stress hormone, it does not develop in the amygdala itself.
