Some of the most influential political and cultural leaders of human history suffered from intensive depression.
Who here depressed, and has it had a positive or negative effect on your life from an outwardly objective standpoint?
Why is depression a common theme among incredibly influential people?
Me:
>Depressed people always try to buy their way out of it.
>Hundreds of dollars worth of late night Amazon purchases. 3/4 of it just sits, unopened in my living room with no intention of use on my part.
>Haven't had a meaningful social interaction in years even though I'm objectively good looking, intelligent, and am a successful marketing and advertising consultant at the age of 24.
>Got a DUI and totaled my car last week
>Need to save every penny or I'm pretty fucked
>$750 worth of shirts and winter sweaters from Woolrich last night at 3am last night, even though its fucking August.
The shotgun looks more favorable everyday lads.
