Someone said they enjoyed my meditation nerdery more than my food tweets so I’m here to tell you... Jigme Lingpa was a depressive

Trungpa Rinpoche often spoke like this too. Was a central feature of his terma, where sadness, compassion, and openness are said to coarise
Indeed! I suspect that’s a big part of my receptivity to what he was saying. It wasn’t all fluffy and nice, he spoke of depression & sadness with intimacy (without meditation being used as a therapeutic modality per se). PS: I wonder what Gyatso translated as depression
