Assuming exercise is a valid treatment.....

It's not just another smile and be happy. You CAN exercise. It's not impossible, but you're making a choice not to.

You want someone to snap their fingers and make you better, apparently. But that's never going to happen. You can accept/engage with the treatment, or you can continue to be depressed. That's just reality.

That's on them. They'd no different than them being to depressed to get up and take their medicine.

If exercise is the best treatment for depression, and someone refuses to exercise.... well, enjoy depression I guess.

You can't have a serious conversation when you lie or embellish numbers.

I'll cherry pick two things.

1. Cell phones are less expensive monthly today than they were 15 years ago. You can get unlimited everything with some carriers for 30 a month. 15 years ago it was 59.99 for 1200 minutes, free nights and weekends, and 2000 texts. Internet was another 20 a month.

2. A car with 30k miles isn't 550 a month right now. I have a 45k car and part just over 600 a month. I bohlught brand new, and spend way more than u needed cause I'm lucky.

You can buy a used car with 30k miles for under 20k if you want. Maybe not a BMW suv, but there's not what we are talking about here.

Inflation is up. Wages are lagging. But let's not lie about shit to make a point.
