Right now, I'm OK, but I had a rather little depressive episode just recently. And this made me think about a think once again: How do many (maybe even most?) people just do all the stuff we have to do without becoming nuts? Don't most people (at least in less religious countries) also think that there either is no such thing as a meaning of life? If so, then how do people find so much motivation to do stuff and not get depressed? 

I wasn't (or at least only occasionally) depressed for about 2 years now, but I think that only worked because of an effective strategy for escapism which currently doesn't work no more.

I heard about all this absurdist or existentialist "you have to give your life a meaning" but that's exactly what doesn't work anymore because I had to cheat myself for it to work.
