Depressed people have a hard time seeing fine detail, according to a Yale study. This is apparently a result of "a shortage of a neurotransmitter called GABA; this has also been linked to a visual skill called spatial suppression, which helps us suppress details surrounding the object our eyes are focused on – enabling us to pick out a snake in fallen leaves, for instance."

Poor Lady Gaga can't even read the keyboard.
This is why I couldn't find my xanax last night. It blended into the kitchen tablecloth.
So that proves it: The only cure for depression is listening to the Ramones.
The depression is bad enough WITHOUT having to now deal with all the impending snake bites. What's the use?
but if you're depressed, isn't everything a snake amongst fallen leaves?
I haven't seen Waldo since I don't know when.
I would have guessed the reverse - they're stuck on a tree and can't see the forest. So maybe I'm just obsessive, not depressed? Are the drugs for that as fun?
But the cherry on the cake? Bitten by a snake. Right in the middle of a fucking forest. And did I mention that the battery on my phone was dead?
I am 1000% sure that LSD is the solution to this problem.
but then the branches will drip off and the forest will try to eat me and then i'll end up naked curled up in a ball and THEN what happens when the branches turn into snakes and they are crawling all over me and WHAT THEN, huh?
and this is why i swore off hallucinogens years ago.
What then? Just concentrate on your breathing, and observe how the movement of the hallucinations corresponds to your own breath. Recognize that you control what you are seeing, feel empowered, and think of happy things.
ah yes, thank you. putting my clothes back on now and heading home for some dinner.
So when you fall off your barstool, you can just blame it on your depression.
