The Definition of True Depression

imagine that because you don't have a

mate and you don't have any friends and

you don't have a job and you don't do

anything productive with your time Etc

that you're kind of a loser and what

does that mean it means compared to

other people you're not doing very well

hyper-competent people have their lives

together on all those fronts and they're

thriving in all those domains and you

are at the bottom of the hierarchy where

everything has fallen apart and you're

barely clinging to the edge of the world

there's a mechanism that sets your

perceived security and utility a marker

for that the lower you are in the

hierarchy which is the more unstable

your life is the less serotonin your

brain produces and that makes you hyp

sensitive to negative emotion and

suppresses positive emotion and so true

depression which isn't having a terrible

Life True depression would be a mismatch

between your actual competence and your

self-perceived competence
