I hope this is sarcasm. People have been getting flamed online for saying this exact thing for a while now.

The issues of "doing something awesome" and depression are totally orthogonal.

Most people already are trying to do whatever they think is really awesome. For example, raise a family and have a steady income; or create a startup; or be an artist; or move to Europe.

In fact, the depressed person is probably already trying to do whatever he thinks is really awesome, or at least contemplating it, in real life, and being depressed is just getting in the way.

I got sent to field training, that cured my depression.

I don't get your point. Feel free to clarify. But, good for you.

Nevermind, for some reason I see what you're saying now, looking at this again 3 days later. That's awesome.
