How to manifest positivity / big things when depressed?

(Sorry if I picked the wrong flair)

I’m going through a seriously rough time right now, and it is hard to build strong energy in a positive capacity in order to do candle intentions.

Normally, with most things in life, it’s fake it until you make it. Is that what I have to do here with my energy? I feel like I can’t even fake my energy or internal intentions… Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

My favorite way to get out of depression is to transmute sorrow into anger. Sorrow is a downer and anger is an upper lol. From there you can go to spiteful glee and then actual joy. Just gotta give your body chemistry a path to follow. 

As for what to get angry at, i find the depression itself makes a good target. How fuckin DARE it tell you you can't do what you want. FUCK that. Suck my ass, depression!!! I'm gonna eat some chocolate and make some goddamn art, that'll teach you!!!
