[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Touch grass. Literally.

*I haven’t tried this due to my dirt and poop phobias but it’s supposed to work [/quote]

This is such a disrespectful and flippant response. You don’t even know the reason for the OPs depression. Unlike your charmed easy life, OP could be dealing with some very heavy stuff. It could be something horrible.

Telling someone to go touch grass to get over their depression is very asinine.[/quote]

Touching grass doesn't fix a chemical imbalance in your brain. [/quote]

DP I don't know about touching grass but the chemical imbalance thing is not really a scientific reality. Medications work for many people (including me) but it's not fully understood why.

[quote]It's often said that depression results from a chemical imbalance, but that figure of speech doesn't capture how complex the disease is. Research suggests that depression doesn't spring from simply having too much or too little of certain brain chemicals. Rather, there are many possible causes of depression, including faulty mood regulation by the brain, genetic vulnerability, and stressful life events. It's believed that several of these forces interact to bring on depression.

To be sure, chemicals are involved in this process, but it is not a simple matter of one chemical being too low and another too high. Rather, many chemicals are involved, working both inside and outside nerve cells. There are millions, even billions, of chemical reactions that make up the dynamic system that is responsible for your mood, perceptions, and how you experience life.

With this level of complexity, you can see how two people might have similar symptoms of depression, but the problem on the inside, and therefore what treatments will work best, may be entirely different.[/quote]https://www.health.harvard.edu/mind-and-mood/what-causes-depression[/quote]
