I want people to know that they have way more control over their experience/mood/depression than they are being led to believe by the majority of "professionals" who are quicker to write a prescription than to have an earnest heart to heart with them.
The complexity of depression stems from the emotional baggage/attachments that we ascribe to it. Beyond our own emotions, and personal narratives we all continually enforce- it is all rather simple. I want to remind people how simple it can be.
If you feel my post was acussatory of callous, its because I wasn't taking your personal feelings and wants into consideration because I wanted you to see beyond them- I wanted you to see the simplicity and I think that's what shocked or made many of you uncomfortable.

Clearly your experience does not match mine.
Your suggestions are certainly good ideas, and they are good things to incorporate into one's life. However, depression is much more complicated than your understanding. Depression is not simply the result of not acting/thinking in healthy ways.
