Do you think depression is kind of like having a car battery thats dead?

Yes, to me, you, are still loveable from what I know of you so far. Id like to say I can love everyone, and thats a lot of people, but truthfully, I have a difficult time loving some.

Our emotions when we get depressed go flat at times. At other times their non existent, or angry or sad, but rarely in much of a good mood. Love was one of those confusing emotions for me. Wanting it, feeling it, losing it, trying to find it, was my relationship with love.

I desperately needed someone to show me love. It was like jump starting that dead battery in the car. Once I felt loved, I could appreciate love and I had just a tiny ounce of it in me and not to be poetic but its kind of like growing a seedling, just add a little everyday, keep the bugs off it, and let it have sunshine. It grows. The more you give, the more you receive but the unfair thing is that being loving doesnt guarantee happiness. Life always has its ups and downs. Loving just makes us appreciate our time here a bit more I think.

My current relationship with love feels pretty good. My battery feels recharged and I can give more love than I receive most of the time. That keeps the love bank operating because with love, each withdrawal returns more than 100%. Its hard when we're depressed to get it it functioning though.

Yes, you specifically I would still love Puffy, unless you're secretly a diabolical plot artist bent on destroying humanity. Then I'd have to reach a little further to love you but I could at least have compassion about your suffering and want to help you not feel worthless.
