    I know a dude who’s legs are purple from the knees down. He weighs around 400 pounds, slams sugar all the time, and doesn’t care.

    I am not friends with him; his personality and lack of self care as well as caring for himself, despite having a wife, kids, and parents who love him are beyond the limits of my compassion. At some point I feel like we have to take ownership of our own lives and at least try.

    Before I get swarmed with responses about depression, how hard is it, etc., he has a massive support group. Every time he gets more assistance, he accepts it and just continues as he is.

      What’s even the point of your comment or the stance you’re taking?

      “I don’t like this guy. He sucks”

      Okay … and?

          No, it’s full proof! Scientific papers are always saying how the type and cause of everyone’s depression is exactly the same. That’s why any primary care specialist, psychiatrist, psychologist, or counselor will tell you to save your time and money on medication, therapy, diet, exercise, relationships, and self love, and to focus exclusively on eating liver. Still feel low? You’re not eating enough liver!

            Come on bruh, you know it’s all a scam set up by the Big Psycho to keep you on pills.

            You gotta just eat that raw liver and steroids. In fact, the raw liver does jack shit, just take the steroids.
