This Certainly Feels Like A Chemical Imbalance To Me

This is very interesting.

Earlier today I was fine, everything was cool. Everything was great, actually. I was in an amazing mood for reasons that I could not explain or understand. But now, it's weird, for once I feel as though my mood is just beyond my control.

Sometime earlier this evening, my mood literally just sunk. It was like things were normal, and all of a sudden, bam, down feeling.

I don't want to rush in and call it depression or anything, but I honestly have no idea why I'm feeling more down than usual. I'm sure there are plenty of underlying reasons for this sudden mood swing, but it almost seems like my consciousness is actively burying it right in front of me, and is not letting me dig it back up to see what it is.

Girls? Vehicle ride height? Boredom? Disconnectedness? Over-analyzation? Can you please just let me dig it back up?

"No", he says. "No you cannot."

On another note, my involvement in the field of Psychology has motivated me towards a single goal: revolutionize the field. Be the next guy that comes up with the theory that completely changes people's perspectives. If this is indeed depression as a result of chemical imbalances or some other more easily-controlled variable, and I find my way out of it, then I can help people with their depression as well.

One thing I've kind of adopted as my approach to Psychology: you can't help someone get out of a particular situation unless you yourself get into the exact same situation and find a consistent, reliable way to get out of it.

To help a drug addict with their addiction, you must know exactly what it is like to be a drug addict.
To help a depressed person, you must become depressed yourself.
To help an antisocial person, you must become antisocial.

For any of these situations, you must record and monitor every single idea, thought, feeling, or idea that you experience, analyze each part of it, and find a way to overcome the problem from the inside out.

Isn't that why people ask other people for advice? They ask them because they've been there before, they know the feeling, they know what it's like, and hopefully, they know how to overcome it.

If this is depression, then I am going to keep a log of it, and try to find my way out of it, because it really really sucks.
