...when you wake up in a great mood for no reason...the as you start the daily habit of reminding yourself about all the things in life you regret, how you have been a jerk to people, how other people use you in some way, how some people don't match your hopes and dreams, that you don't have any hopes and dreams, how you're not the best son or the best friend, you're not perfect in your job...and how you are somehow defective. Hey, why not have a few drinks at 8:00, call in sick, drink a little more...play a few video games then feel guilty for not working today . Then the shame comes rolling in and you believe (mistakenly) that you have always felt and will feel this way, and you wonder if life is worth living...
I've had too many of those days.
