valid point for sure. high crossover with depression and sadness. universal crossover with depression and apathy.

in my depression i was both, but it was indeed the apathy that woke me up to the idea that i was depressed. my sadness was assumed given the situation, the apathy was the symptom i noticed because i didnt expect it.

and i said that was a fair point... and to stop assuming the mentality of others.
i'm not sure what you had issues understanding. either way...

there are different levels of depression and varying time-sets.
if someone is depressed for 3 straight years and unable to get out for even 20 hours a week over 3 months of those 3 years....
the free food wasn't helping. (- rare situations i'm sure)

i just want to update this. this is something i want to get accomplished, but it won't be in the time-frame i first planned.
3 major reasons.

1. is life, without getting into it much, it's been a hard couple months for me. all motivation for personal growth was stunted by real life situations for a while.

2. is a position issue. i have "started" on this begrudgingly a "few" times. i am noticing my policy changes a bit pending what hat i put on.
policy in executive or federal branch is a bit different than when i have my local governance hat on. (governor/mayor) i'm debating on making these separate threads to address positions on at least a couple different brackets.

3. balance of form. i don't want to cover issues too broadly, but at the same time i could spend a life-time trying to perfect just a single "bill" even at local level. i'm having issues "settling" on a decision for anything when i know how much further i can delve into each topic.
i'm still thinking of how to set a middle-ground goal for each topic.

so i'm going to give the list again of topics, if anyone has criticism or suggestions, they are welcomed.
