    I realized I had clinical depression for a while when I didn’t feel sad but everything felt so meh. I’m doing fine now, though.

        I have no idea. It was probably a combination of a change in mindset and different lifestyle choices. I started exercising more often, eating healthier (lost 10 kg), pushing depressing thoughts out, weeding out toxic people, and rekindling my interest in some of my hobbies by forcing me to do them. I know this is probably not helpful and it’s what’s generally recommended but it worked for me this time. It took a few months to get out of the slump. Or maybe whatever was bothering me worked itself out or I got over it. But who knows!

          One of the terrible things about depression…that it makes it harder for you to do the very things that help reduce its effects like cook well, socialise, and exercise.

    Don’t forget the irrational anger, most common in males. Thank gawd for therapy.

    Well damn. It’s less of a cool guide and more of a checklist for me…
