Depression Descriptions

[Mirah]

I feel like a shell of myself
I feel sorrow about things
I don't seem to feel joy and laughter
The other night when I laughed at something it was manic and turned to tears I was laughing so hard
and then the tears turned to more sorrow, even over something happy
even eating ice cream is not much joy
Nothing is joy
everything is sorrow

Ready for spring blues?

 

[Mirah]

The need to hear live music with a connection to the community, this town sucks because everybody is old and retired blues?

 

[The Question]

What about crisps?

Gummi Crisps.

even eating ice cream is not much joy
Nothing is joy
everything is sorrow

I miss a time that never really existed.

Should I acknowledge
Not acknowledge
the death of my friend last year?
I ask myself:
Am I silly for feeling grief this month?
Then I go to her page and find all of her friends feeling the same
I feel better

 

[The Question]

Jesus. No wonder some of you are depressed. You're fixated on depressing shit. It's like feeling bad is a choice you've made. Can't hardly feel any sympathy for people who obviously want to feel bad.

 

[Mirah]

I never judge anyone for thier depression.

This will be a tangent of sorts, but my very first girlfriend kicked the bucket about 3 weeks ago and it hit me harder than I figured was possible. At least we ended things nicely between us, even though we'd sort of drifted apart over the past 25 years or so we managed to remain friendly and have a few laughs along the way.

I'm having a similar experience.

Not a tangent at all really. Sorry to hear that.

 

[The Question]

I do. In passing. How many dragonflies just give up and die in the downpour under the drain spout.

Nobody fucking cares. That's how many. Get the fuck up and soldier on, or die quietly. This world was not engineered to pamper your ass for bringing nothing to it but melodrama. Pull your weight or shut up.

 

[Mirah]

No U dude.
Your posts have always been the most depressing reads here at TK.
But again
I don't judge.
Carry on.

 

[The Question]

Nothing is depressing.
Depression is internal. It is irrespective of stimulus. And, largely, it is a choice. Depression is either escaped from through anger or surrendered to.

Well, life and death happen and I've had my share of both. I just wish we'd managed to stay in closer contact, that's the sort of thing you can't fix.
