Avoiding depression(just some suggestions not absolutes)




Learn a language, especially Welsh,
its one of our oldest living languages.
Learn an instrument,learn to belly dance
Carry on regardless, listen to your friends
Don't  ignore your neighbours
Unless their fascists.

Tell the truth, Follow every sunset
Learn to jive, cull books you never look at,
Plant a tree, climb a mountain,
Listen to music avoid Chris de Burgh ,Michael Bolton
Try some Half Man Half Biscuit,or maybe the Fall,
Bonjo Dog Do Dah Band ,Captain Sensible.

Sit by a local river,try not to fall in
Try to be honest,try to be real
But remember its ok to be cruel to be kind,.
Learn that its ok not to open the door
Especially to certain fundamentalists
Militant paper sellers,most salespeople.,

Learn to be glad,eat fruit
Abstinence can be fine,
But remember not to stand in line
Learn that were all free,
If you have the energy take a walk in the park
Kayak, make sandcastles on the beach.
.
Read some Chomsky,Spike Milligan
Avoid Jeremy Kyle, Alan Titchmarch,
Murder she wrote,most daytime tv
Dont fear the reaper, eat some peach,
Relax, don't do it, reach out and embrace
Pass it on,sing a song, light up a bong
Remember there's always gonna be some darkness,
But their will always be light.

  2. i guess you're well aware spike milligan had 40 years of depressive experiences...
    also, vivian stanshall, the 'bonjos' main vocalist wasn't always the happiest of people if i'm not mistaken.
    now mark e smith, there's you have a person who lights up a room when he's havin' a laugh, i'm feeling cheerful just thinking of him, haha!
    listening to ivor cutler brightens my day, and the neil young lyrics 'don't let it bring you down, it's only castles burning', even if i have no idea what that means.
    greetings from belgium.
