Depression

• Depression lurks in the corner.
• Depression waits for an opening.
• Depression is exhausting.
• Depression has little patience for others, and even less for you.
• Depression remembers every mistake, real and imagined.

All true. I don't have any comforting words except that usually things get better again with time and help.

If it brightens your day at all, I just finished Codex Born and I loved it!

It certainly doesn't hurt :-) Thanks!

I'm going to print this out. Both my daughter and I struggle with this.

Depression is like an alien in your head, and it will do everything it can to protect and sustain itself at your expense.

(I have a lot of friends who battle depression, and this is a recurring theme. It goes along with sub-headings like "Depression tells you not to bother doing the things you know help you," and "Depression doesn't want you to take your meds.")

"Depression tells you not to bother doing the things you know help you,"

Oh dear, and oh yes.
