These posts made me think of Pearl Jamโs song โBlack.โ Itโs not about depression, but it is about loss. At the end he talks of the childrenโs laughter and thereโs a womanโs voice happily singing as heโs crying out in anguish. Iโve never been severely depressed but I can imagine the gap between how youโre feeling and how the rest of the world is going on like lifeโs a party, would be a hard thing to deal with. I sympathize with anyone going through depression right now.
There were some great quotes there. I struggled with depression for years, so some of them really resonated with me, especially โWhen youโre depressed you donโt control your thoughts, your thoughts control you. I wish people understood that.โ
Depression is not a condition or state anybody chooses. If we could just โsnap out of it,โ we would.
