What do you think?

I get depressed for absolutely no reason. Then I start getting the typical delusional thoughts that everyone would be better off without me, etc., but I'm certainly not "living" in the past. I don't know. Just something I was thinking of.
"Depress(Ives) are those who live in the past."

Or in other words, "Just get over it!"

I can't say I don't obsess over past mistakes (or past "mistakes") when I'm depressed, but it goes without saying that there's much more to it than that.
