The little lie
10 years ago
I'd like to preface this by saying I'm a big boy who can look after himself so I don't need any messages back in response.
Depression, ironically, is a funny thing.
It's something other people get, not you. Your far better than those people. You have friends and family and there's no reason to be sad. Except that's not how things work. It's not a switch that gets turned and you go from happy go lucky to curled up in the foetal position underneath the bed sheets. It's a pot. You've been in it since day one, only now you've begun to realise that the waters getting rather hot. You've felt it like this before though so it's not a problem.
Expect, you don't recall a time when the water wasn't hot, you don't remember what normal used to feel like.
You've changed your perception of what normal is so many time that if you were to show another person what normal is, they'd probably think you were mad.
So what do you do? You do what you've always done. You carry on as though nothing has changed, expect now you feel just a little bit more alone inside, and once again you define normal just a little bit differently.
I'd like to say that personally I think in one way or another everyone is or can be broken. I'm not asking to change the way things are done, just take care of yourself and remember that just because normal isn't, doesn't mean that the same solutions don't work.
Thanks for listening.
