Having a sad life is not the same thing as depression.
Depression is a condition that persists regardless. Bad bouts are often triggered by legit shitty things happening, but unlike non-depressives who can react appropriate to the scale of the shitty thing and remember that it’s a temp problem, depression encourages black and white thinking.
Depression is knowing in your heart that this is the worst thing in the world, is because you’re irredeemably broken, and will never change or get better. In reality, that’s not true.
Like most chronic health issues, symptoms ebb and flow, so sometimes you can be talked down or see the light yourself. Othertimes you cannot.














The best bits of 30 rock are when they make fun of how genuinely bad snl is most of the time.
