i dont like nasty people…
my psychoanalyst says im depressed…

you probably are, but hell there’s nothing wrong with that as long as you don’t lose perspective. I’m an expert at being depressed, I learnt to value it given time, but I still hate it.

my psychoanalyst is full of shit…
a lot of what he calls depression is my view of death…

It used to be, before I discovered philosophy many of the times I would have deep an serious thoughts was when I was depressed. But then Plato and Epictetus helped me to end my depression.

Whats a psychoanalyst?

how did they help?

Plato in part gave me purpose and confidence, and Epictetus taught me that a Large part of being unhappy is being upset about things that are not under my own control (externals) and that being apathetic to these things ends much of the anxiety people put themselves through. Simply, happiness comes from within.
