On Depression #It'sOn


Good morning, good afternoon, and good night,

Both Susan and Yeune reached out today. I will "hit two birds with one stone." Thanksgiving Day joke 😂😂🤣🤣

First, we agree Susan. I am not well. No irony, just truth.

Second, I disagree with the solution, antidepressants. Also, just because millions upon millions of people take them (you included?) doesn't make them the right course of action.

As I said to Sulafa during our phone conversation several nights ago, I would like to fix the problem at the core, fundamental level, as opposed take a "feel good" drug that "dulls the pain" but cures nothing.


I am in search of the "engineering solution" not the "science fad". Think about that the next time you operate heavy machinery. With camouflages, the problem is not addressed, rather it is hidden from view. Like an ostrich sticking its head in the sand, out of sight, out of mind. That plane won't fly. That car won't drive. If engineers practiced problem-solving like doctors nowadays practice medicine, we would be extinct already. Darwin prizes galore!

If you actually do love me and not virtue signaling, then you can start by being honest and truthful, not gaslighting into a corner for the purposes of doing your bidding. That's not love, last I checked. It's hate.

If kindness is not a British value… 

shall I be (brutally) honest then, instead?

You are not well. That much is obvious. And you need meds. 
No, I’m not there, but I don’t need to see you to come to that conclusion. 

Mental illness is something we are all now encouraged to be more open about so I’m pointing at the elephant in the room.

Do you think I think I’m entirely sane? Or happy? Few of us are. Practically half the people I know are on antidepressants. 

So, I’m sending you love and the above IS one way of reaching out to you..   now, THAT is an American phrase I really can’t bear but everyone here is saying it now.. and in this instance it sounds like the right thing
