opposing the mind get one up on your depression!

Depression is a car with 4 gears, trying to switch to the 5th (illusion)! There is the body and there is the mind. Take a moment and tell me are the body and mind one or  separate? Can your mind tell your heart to stop beating? For me this observation proves that the mind and the body are separate. This is why depression will never be overcome through the mind. Can you lift yourself up with a fishing rod, put the hook on your shirt and reel until you are off the ground. Not going to happen, same with the mind and negative thinking. Unless we control our bodies to get outside and do something the  mind isn't focused on, we wont be able to get out of our own heads.
