Today I am so depressed and I do not even want to get out of bed. I do not feel well on top of it. I have the words of my mother going through my head and can not get them out. "What do you have to be depressed about?" It makes me more depressed when I hear crap like this. Why does it seem like people who are not depressed have no idea there does not have to be one given situation or a reason to be depressed. I have also gotten that you choose to be depressed.

If I had a choice mine would be once I get out of bed set both feet on the floor and say to myself today is going to be a great day. Do I have a reason to be depressed? Yes my brain is not allowing me to find joy in life and be happy.

Maybe there is something I am missing about being depressed. Someone please tell me where the switch is so I can just shut it off since that is what others think.
