I prefaced this WHOLE shebang by saying that it goes against everything moral and natural in this world. But pragmatically speaking, it makes sense to me. I'm not saying that it is right or moral or logical, just that it has yet to be proven wrong in my eyes.


Okay, for every situation that I listed, having money would make it better FOR ME.
I guess she just didn't have enough money.

Would have made things a hell of a lot easier. Anyone who says otherwise is a liar.

Brain chemistry is tough and it’s not this simple but let’s say your serotonin is short and your adrenaline is high making you sad and nervous and the levels aren’t adjusting to outside stimuli. For a person in good mental health a nice view of the sea from a restaurant with great food will bring the adrenaline down and the serotonin up (again I’m simplifying). But if your depression is progressed the nice view doesn’t affect the serotonin. The brain knows that it should so it gets upset and releases more adrenaline upsetting the depressed person even more.

Baseball may be fun but you can’t cheer a kid with a broken arm up by playing catch. It’s kind of like that.

That said, in general a person has a genetic disposition to depression. Bad experiences can amplify the neural pathways that cause negative looping. For some people, but not all, a positive environment can save the day.

So merit I think what you’re saying makes sense to a point but it’s strongly overstated and suggests you might not understand how profoundly overwhelming clinical depression can be.

Do a little reading up on the Getty family.

This. OH said it better than I could due to my emotional response.

There's a difference between saying "this works for me" and "this is how it is for everyone".

I'd post more examples but I know how much you appreciate succinctness.
