My take on antidepressant pills is generally:

“It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society.”

My escape from depression has been a lifestyle of vigorous outdoor exercise & healthy food & sunshine. While still participating in the modern rat race to survive. Gotta work fucking hard to rise above society's ills.

Because I firmly believe that epidemic depression is the result of society valuing capitalism above human wellness. Society at large does not give a fuck about anybody's human wellness.

So in a world where we have to sacrifice our own wellness to earn money to survive, I fight hard to preserve my own human wellness.

Exercise. Nutritious food. Sunshine.
