depression 

It’s been a hard month for depression. I’ve taken time off work and ignored my ADLs because I feel like I have a piano on my back. It’s just chemical—my life circumstances are infinitely better and less stressful than this time two years ago, or last year. It just seems like such a waste of my time and energy. What could I be doing were I not weighed down?

@BuddyGoodboyEsq This is incredibly entitled and privileged of me to say, and frankly probably childish, but it’s not fair, I tells ya.

@BuddyGoodboyEsq I know its you brain telling you differently because part of depression is this warped sense of self but it is not entitled or privileged to feel frustrated with your depression and what you could be doing. Yeah other people are having their own hard times but your struggles matter *hugs tight*

@ZiaMacPine Thanks, Zia. It would be one thing if I actually had a reason to feel miserable. I don’t. The banality of having my daily activities limited by a simple chemical imbalance makes me, well, crazy. :)

depression 

@BuddyGoodboyEsq yeah, it isnt ideal to have your brains signals get scrambled. I understand the frustration, but that doesnt make your problems privileged. It sounds like a pretty serious problem to me *pets ya*
