I'm going through some shit.
Anyone who has never had to deal with depression probably has no way to grasp the hugeness of the problem. Jim is one of those people. He has never felt the overwhelming sense of hopelessness and despair that surges through a body in the grips of her terrible embrace...
I've inherited a tendancy towards depression from both sides of the family. It comes and goes, but when it's here it's difficult to escape from. Jim stares, uncomprehending, repulsed. I push the people I love away, not wanting to get them wrapped up in what it essentially my problem.
It's very taxing. It saps my motivation and makes me freeze in the face of pressure and stress.
I haven't had a cigarette since Tuesday, and I haven't smoked when I wasn't at a bar in over a week. I've dropped another of my "extra-curricular activities" as well. I still need to eat better, but that will come.
Now, if I can just pay my bills...
stress,
depression
