I don't really get depressed. I do have those times when I get really down on myself and feel like I'm worthless and that I'll never amount to anything. Sometimes I truly wonder why I'm even alive. I feel like a mistake.
You know, if you don't have a sense of humor with depression, it's gonna be a rough ride--
Let's build on that theme:
I don't get depressed. But--
I do have those times when I feel like my mother never really loved me, she was just faking it to make me think I wasn't a mistake, and that I wasn't such a heavy burden it made her still throw up from morning sickness every time she thought of me 10 years later; So she adopted a cat so at least she wouldn't have to pay $100,000 for it's education, and it's failures wouldn't make her tell her therapist that her kids made her so embarrased that she had to move to Canada where at least anti-depressant medications and group therapy are free;
I still don't get depressed when even my shrink says "face it--you're just a big disappointment; if you didn't have $300 I wouldn't give you the time of day." "it's no wonder your wife left you for someone with more than $2500 in the bank and a one-bedroom apartment in the basement." "I'd give you some sample depression pills, but, I think I should save them for someone who doesn't ruin my day and make me more depressed for a week just wasting my time talking to a whining defeatist who just comes here to create more drama."
I still don't get depressed when my boss says that they have to let me go because I'm losing the company money, and they need my office for a crying room for kids of employees who have affairs on company time...
that's probably enough for now...
I'm making myself depressed--
