Very often a depressed person may be told "come on! shake yourself! jump into the crowd!"

I may tell you that is a stupid idea. I these days I am living the 3rd bad depressive bout of my life, and I have to get a lot of things done anyway. Well, it DOES NOT MAKE ME FEEL BETTER AT ALL!!!

Thesea re the kind of bulls##t you can hear from those who did not understand that DEPRESSION IS AN ILLNESS. What if you have a flu and must work anyway? You work but that doesn't surely help with your flu. You're always sick and suffering all the time.

Ah, damn. Now the day is over and I feel enough energy to get angry. But tomorrow I will wake up as a shivering pityful thing. No doubt.
Today I didn't cry, as I had done in the past 2 days, but that is just because I can't get enough privacy. This time I'll score a record, I know. I've been depressed for 25 days and it is wearing me off.

God damn the day that I was born!
