Today, the label "depression" is slapped on left and right. Not having it feels almost uncool. It’s like the fashionable cough of 19th-century aristocrats, a badge of refinement. Fragile means noble (as if).
Feel sick, truly sick, and you rise above the rest. Psychologist Alfred Adler believed that Behind every inferiority complex there is superiority complex. No one can help me!” That’s absolute power, castrating doctors, family, friends—anyone who tries.
Interestingly, psychologist Robert Moore didn’t see narcissistic grandiosity as a pathology. He thought that more often the issue was a severe lack of energy to live.
In some people, there is such a colossal source of strength that the Ego builds walls and moats around it. Depression, then, is a fierce hunger to love, create, and act.
The Ego’s fear makes sense—this lightning can burn, drive you mad, or kill. Healing means tapping into your Power’s source and learning how to regulate it.
A mighty “Lamborghini” roars inside you. Find a coach for steady laps on a closed track. The city isn’t going anywhere. Taming your “beast” is its own thrill.
Sincerely yours,
-Alexander
