Never taken them myself, whenever I've been depressed I've been able to blame whatever course I'm on or job I'm in or illness I've got and confine it to some sort of time frame. And then fuck off to Africa for a bit. I think we just weren't designed to be comfortable. Our minds are supposed to be too occupied with surviving to get depressed. I have no idea where this comment is going or how it's supposed to contribute. Hope the pills do their job right, mate.

You're not alone. I'm finding more and more people (nearly exclusively through Twitter) are in the same boat as me. Sometimes, like you say, it's hard to even drag your ass out of bed in the morning, let alone consider the prospect of going into work, and dealing with people who don't get what's wrong with you. And you don't tell them, because there's such a stigma attached to mental illness. -Dave Keep your head up mate. You’re not alone.

And as someone who suffers with depression, I *hear* every word you say. Can't even offer any heartening words - it doesn't get better but I suppose I'm "used" to it and I stuff as many little tablets into my mouth as I possibly can ... just to keep going. The only thing I CAN say is that without my depression, I can't write - so Catch 22. I have to write. x Ouch. And as someone who suffers with depression, I *hear* every word you say.
