Have you tried cognitive-behavioral therapy (it takes time, be patient!) ?
You would learn to use your intelligence to your advantage (i.e., happiness!) rather than hurt yourself with it. And learn to actively fight depression at the same time.
I did, it took years, but I'm finally seeing the payoff, and boy, life can be good. I can see it now. There is light at the end of the tunnel, even though the tunnel can be very long and tortuous. You have to believe in it and move on. You'll get to it.
> So I just spent, I don't know, about an hour 1/2 crying about -- well, everything. Sometimes I have these moments of realization that propel me into fits of rage or outbursts -- strings of words that tend to hurt the people they're aimed at more than succeed in any attempts for change. Nothing changes...I usually just feel ashamed and hopeless. So nobody changes, but do I have to be so alone in these thoughts. Damn. Some say crazy people are blessed with the vision, the ability to see the truth. But is it a truth so true that others don't see it -- therefore it is not reality because it's not Their reality ??? Maybe I'm not making any sense, but I have been noticing a few things lately. Nothing new, probably every child of the revolutions thought...Maybe. Maybe I think too much like they tell me I do. I'm sad and sensitive they tell me. ........
> So many thoughts, but most of all, I don't want to do anything right now. What's the difference. This art won't open their eyes, these songs. Robots Slaves.
