You wake up and everyone has wings but you. Are you depressed? Obviously. Did you develop a "chemical imbalance" overnight? No — you suffered a loss. Depression isn't a malfunction. It's a pain system doing exactly its job.
A small amount of this pain is why you ever got off the couch. You are supposed to feel it. It’s the stick half of your motivation system — and you’d be shocked what the carrot half is. More this week.
This is the far edge of the bravery scale — running toward what everyone else runs from. Evolution keeps a few people at the 99th percentile of courage and hands them fire extinguishers and badges. A rare, precarious, necessary place to live. Respect.

Bodycam footage shows the moment a cop broke down a locked door with a single kick as fire spread through a property in Centennial, Colorado.
Video shared by Arapahoe Sheriff’s Office shows Deputy Ligon, a School Resource Officer, running towards the burning building.
@hell_line0 Yes, the mind assumes that it sees one thing one time it will see it again. PTSD is the right kind of learning for the moment and the wrong kind of learning for your life.https://t.co/R8zhRkkUcP
