How you deal with...

[Squiggy]

Except for I fell in love with my 'tulpa' two years ago and still have a crush on 'her'.

Discussing the nececssity is kinda redundant if you ask me (irony?) because everyone should be able to deal with issues him-/herself which, in fact, IS alike to creating a "tulpa" as a "tulpa" essentially is a manifestation of a part of the human brain and is composed of one's needs, one's expectations, self awareness and sorta as a backup concerning indecisiveness, am I right?
Of course, the usage of such a tulpa may greatly vary and I've read that others use it to express themselves in a different way but I guess this depends on the individual.

I dunno it gets all screwy with all the gradients in the mind. I kind of think consciousness is constantly ebbing and flowing in the brain. Not like full consciousness, but fragments; microconsciousness if you will.

Kind of off topic.

Consciousness is always present in a living human, be it either active or passive (read: knockout).
Do you mean the Freudian metapsychological model of Id, ego and superego?
At times, the super-ego would overcome the ego and decide it it's place, the moral instance or conscience.

In that regard, a creation of one's mind is part of that super-ego and (partly) reflects the individual's conscience and, if you stretch it out and shape your creation, it's a mirror of yourself but also shows you your own feelings, needs and fears.

Like for example, creating a perfect (to your own needs) female counterpart in a custom shape may redirect to a need to finding someone who matches what 'she' is - in real life and the low chance you'll ever meet her (if she even exists).

Our conscience is able to do beautiful things but it greatly depends on how we handle what it enables us to do, be it the thought of being depressed or, and this is more important, the thought of wanting to change something about said depression.

Nah, I don't really place much stock/value/coherence in Freud's model. It's not to say that you can't think of the mind in those terms, but that it doesn't really serve much of a purpose as I see it vs. basically any other model of a human psyche. It's as Wazzz notes—we can analyze the chemicals and interactions in the brain of a depressed person, but there are any number of causes of said circumstance. I really feel it's wrong in all cases to try to Occam's razor the mind; there are just too many variables.

 

[Wazzz]

it's much easier to give in to probability and the inevitability that the world will never meet our standards so long as we look too hard
some people go so far as to forgo their own virtues in pursuit of what they perceive as being 'happiness'
those people are questionable at best

 

[Hakeem]

Eh, it's worth it to me personally to make things slightly more bearable.

 

[The Wizard]

Tl;dr.
I listen to depressing music, read depressing texts and so on, just to make concentrated effect of sorrow and all the stuff. This way it's over quite fast. But it's getting really easy to get controlled by sudden anger. So I just lock the door.

I play with my cat and Hug her to remove my depression and my stress, But sometimes I write stories to remove my Depression.
