I'm actually far behind in my life compared to other people my age. It's like I'm two people existing simultaneously - the "normal" me, the one who studies and all that, and the depressed me, who's always there to spoil everything.

You can be at 2 different levels with your emotional and intellectual development. Intellectually you can be at your age level and emotionally you can still be a 5 year old. This is where I found myself before I started working on getting better.

Last time I was at my doctor's office he told me about all the latest breakthroughs in the field. He thought it was encouraging to say that maybe in 10-20 years they'll find a cure for depression.

There is a cure already. It's called psychotherapy and complete self-understanding and fixing what is dysfunctional.
