Today was a totally free day for me, much like Christmas Day was. I had done all of my errands and domestic things yesterday. I didn't have any plans for today. I decided to call my friend up. He didn't have anything to do either. So we just had coffee and lunch together. It was nothing much and definitely not expensive. It was nice being with him for a little bit.

At the end of our time together we talked about depression. I felt like I had to explain what it's about. He has general knowledge of what depression is about. But he does not understand what it feels like to go through it.

As I was leaving him he said, "I'm so sorry that you are troubled and unhappy with life". I was baffled when he said that. I feel depressed, but I don't feel totally unhappy with life (if that makes any sense). I guess he was right at what he said, but I didn't particularly liked hearing that.
