Sleepy time time
I’m a sleepy time baby, A sleepy time boy.
Work only maybe, Life is a joy.
We’ll have a sleepy time time…
Sleepy time time,
Sleepy time time all the time.
Asleep in the daytime, Asleep at night.
Life is all playtime, Working ain’t right.
We’ll have a sleepy time time…
Sleepy time time,
Sleepy time all the time.
I have my Sunday, That ain’t no lie.
But on Monday morning
Comes my favourite cry.
We’ll have a sleepy time time…
Sleepy time time,
Sleepy time all the time.

Well I’m working on it
Holy shit I didn’t know I had so many problems
Holy shit this isn’t it
No one told me I was just an onion
I’m just a kid, or so I thought
Please doc, make it stop, let me go home
I’ll keep working on it
But will I be gone if I peel this old onion
-‘Onion’,Shannon & The Clams

It seems many INFPs have depression, or at least existential depression (what is this world and where do I belong?).
For me it seems to come from an identity crisis. I don’t know who I am, and I am afraid when I find out I won’t like me. The more I integrate myself, work on my “shadow”, and accept myself as I am - the better my depression has become and the more I overcome.
I also see it as this. INFPs, being the original optimists, get beaten down by life. They see that most people don’t share their philosophy, and that will never change (or at least not in this lifetime). Indeed the world can be cruel and I really believe that crushed me at some point. And then we become cynical, but under that the original optimist calls out, and this causes confusion, depression, anger, etc.
Any thoughts? Do you have the INFP blues? What has helped, if anything, and what do you think the challenge is of overcoming it?
I also think changing my perspective has helped. One of those things is learning that you don’t find yourself - you create yourself”
