That’s why I set up a subdomain for all sorts of ramblings that are not even search engine indexable:

My main website hasn’t seen any activity lately because of what you mention, and laziness…

Hey I read your notes on Dr. Yapko's lecture on depression which led me to watch the lecture and I found it immensely helpful. Do you have any other resources you would recommend?

I'm glad you found it helpful. I have some one-off articles like this one: https://www.davidsongifted.org/gifted-blog/dabrowskis-theory... However, in my case I mostly connect it with neuroticism on which I have an immense bunch of information piecing it all together. It seems to be sensitivity and neurotic qualities that are most connected with what led towards a rather strong depression.

Ohh, and one absolutely huge website where lots of people share their experiences is the followjng: https://www.storiedmind.com/start-here/

Spend some time around there, and particularly if you're of male sex, you'll probably find it extremely useful.

Adding to this, I also did a summary of a book from Ernest Becker way back in the day, and the section on neuroticism, or how psychology is taking over from religion, and such broader societal topics you can read about here: https://www.lostbookofsales.com/notes/the-denial-of-death-by...

It's quite some brutal and heavy reading, but then again, if it helps you understand the condition better then it's for the best I guess...
