Depression doesn't matter.
Damned depression. The worst thing about it is that there's nothing to be "fixed" that would improve the situation. I'm one of those bipolar fuckers, but I don't really mind. I can deal with the downs, and I really enjoy the ups. So I'm not interested in having myself smoothed out.
I'm depressed. I don't wanna get out of bed, everything that sucks is foremost in my mind, and the positive things seem less important. There is nothing for me to "get over", my chemicals are just fukt right now. I used to try to deal with it, try to address it and try to alleviate it. But then I found a better way to address the issue. I ignore it. I just act as if I weren't depressed. That's not the same as denial or pretending I'm not depressed. I am depressed and I know it, but I see no reason to allow that to prevent me from dealing with things that are more important than my mood. So I feel like crap, so what? I can still do everything I can do at other times, I just don't feel like it. So I ignore that I don't feel like it, and do it anyway. It still sucks, but it's only my feelings that ache, and it will pass no matter what I do or do not do. My job is more important than my mood, as are my friends, my kids, even my dirty dishes. Come to think of it, most things are more important that whether or not my bitch ass is all comfy with the world. My mood does not affect those things that I do give a damn about, so I would be selfish and foolish to give it any greater consideration than them. Perhaps this is the best way to deal with depression. No drugs, no treatment, no therapy, just fucking ignore it and wait for it to go away, as it will. In the meantime, let it starve, and do not give it any energy that would be better used in other endeavors. I think this is the best way to deal with it, by not dealing with it. But that doesn't make it suck any less.
