I often wonder if I simply have a baseline of persistent low-level sadness, or if I'm just interpreting it this way b/c of some attachment to negativity. Feels impossible to verify b/c I'll never be able to embody another person's experience. I suppose this is why DSM exists?

He's got a more recent book "Depression, Emotion and the Self" and I've been wondering if it's any good and/or more accessible. Experiences of Depression is very good but it's also quite academic and I've been wondering about revisiting it again when I'm better at phenomenology.

That’s interesting, something similar but more accessible would be good to be able to recommend. IIRC Rival mentioned Expereinces of when we were talking about what worked for us, and having glossed briefly I suspect I would have found it very helpful too.

Replying to @misen__ @reasonisfun and
I've read Experiences of Depression in full and refer back to it occasionally and can confirm it's super helpful, but it's a book I can only recommend to A Certain Type, and also I feel like I only got maybe about 30% of what the author was trying to say out of it.

Yes, that makes sense. I’m not particularly in the habit of doling out depression recommendations, but it occasionally comes up and it’s good to be able to say something, because random people saying imperfect stuff turned out to be life saving when I was in the shit.
