as i understand, by reading all those evolution things. any single of our symptom- it can be depression or hypomania or anxiety or less sleep requirement, it is extremely useful. if one has only anxiety, he can cope with it and will work hard so he will not face anxiety due to stress. and hypomania makes me really productive. if i think about it because of depression i have worked so hard to improve myself, i have basically spent every minute trying to get out of depression and for that i needed to know about myself, my brain, my health. so i learned all about it. it is like we are too evolved or blessed if you prefer than other "normal" people.
the depression has something to do with hibernation too. in winter our ancestors could not do much hunting so they needed to slow their body processes. and what way is better than stopping some functions of organ which uses most of our body energy (brain). this seasonal depression is hard for me in winter months. Another weird thing is since childhood i don't prefer much light in my room. i never liked too bright lights...

If Uhng smells smoke he will just roll over and go to sleep. But if Rohg smells smoke he will look outside in a panic and see that Uhng's tent is on fire, and then warn everyone.

interesting story dark heart x...... but if my name was Rohg i would roll over and go to sleep too... rather than stay alive one more minute with name "Rohg"

There really is no such thing as normal, and I use the term rarely when I write about something.

exactly! everyone is something special, you just need to see it.... this is actually greatest insight my current/last depression gave me.....
