Antidepressants

You talk about Jim Carrey the man, Jim Carrey the preformer are you more Comforatable as one or the other?
Or is that like are they even mutually exclusive?

I don't exist. So uh. They're all characters that I played
Including Jim Carrey including
Joel Barish including any of those things, they're all characters
You know Jim Carrey was a less intention character
Because I thought I was just building something people would like

But it was a character you know so its uh... you know
I played the guy that was free from concerns
So that people who watched me would be free from concern
And at a certain point you go "Ok well that's great but you know
Its like the one thing..."
People talk about depression all the time
The difference between depression and sadness is that
Sadness is just from happenstance

Whatever happened or didn't happen for you or yknow
Grief or whatever it is
And depression is your body saying f**** you
I don't wanna be this character anymore
I don't want to hold up this
Avatar that you created in the world. Its too much for me

Y'know? And uhh a friend of mine whos a spiritual teacher has a really good take
His name is Jeff Foster
His take on it is that you should think of the word depressed as deep rest
Your body needs to be depressed
It needs deep rest from the character that you've been trying to play
