There's no easy fix. I know that's a shitty thing to hear, but it's important that you understand that life was never meant to be easy. Be strong, don't go and throw away your life.

Why let the powers win? Fuck the powers, who the hell do they think they are? God-damn powers, going around fucking up everyone's lives.

Know that you aren't defective though. Being depressed is a normal reaction any intelligent being has to existing in constrictive, boring, sexless anglo culture. Everyone does what they can to get by in our self-made hell, be it religion, work, sport, drink, delusion, you must choose your poison.

In this passive-aggressive culture, suffering is a virtue. Pain is sacred, witness, for instance, all those who can't get opium based relief, despite genuine need. "Normal" people are treated as pests, to be tolerated, nothing more. If you aren't rich or famous, you are expected to work to fund those who are, this is the essence of capitalism. Attention and devotion is fed on by the famous, who give nothing in return. Regan believed in trickle down economics, if you give the rich money, they will support us all. He was wrong, the rich kept the money, or used it to buy assets, driving up property prices while forcing others to lower their standard of living to cope. People spend so much money on oil derivatives, money that goes right to the fantastically wealthy oil company shareholders, or to the arabs, who, their own economy being as stable as a camel powered 747, invest right back into western economies in the form of "sovereign wealth funds", buying out overpriced western companies, one at a time. Television feeds programs on how to behave and how ideal life/the universe/everything should be, giving people unrealistic expectations while selling them crap. If only you had this new piece of crap, all your problems would be solved! If only you had the Zune, you would be sociable and popular!

All of this, and more, would be sufferable, if only there were some hope, some light for change, some stirring of discontent from the disenfranchised. There isn't. The rich have taken everything, even the self-respect, authenticity, and sadness of the losers, repackaged it, and sold it right back to those it was stolen from. People meanly hoard money to spend on nonsense they don't need. They hide behind curtains from violent criminals and terrorists they know are out there. The government doesn't represent the will of the people, but the people support them anyway. I wonder when will a government support it's people?

The losers don't realise what's happened, or want to realise. They avoid the big questions with the usual, religion, drugs, television, delusion...

Being depressed isn't abnormal. It's inevitable. Don't think about getting angry, that won't work. You'll just be another crackpot, mouthing off about government conspiracies or whatever.
