This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

If this dude genuinely has depression, then yeah, no shit. Congrats on being healthy.

Usually being "lazy" is also the result of some kind of untreated medical issue or disorder like ADHD, autism, sleep apnea, etc. or any combination of those. Almost no healthy person would make the choice to sit around doing nothing for years at a time. Treating it like it's some kind of lack of will or moral failing only makes it worse.

It's truly a dark irony that a depression itself can rob you of the very drive you need to pro-actively seek help with it.
