Depression

Depression is something I've suffered with since my early teens.
It's a feeling of pointlessness, of not belonging, not fitting in,
a feeling of utter helplessness, hopelessness, uselessness, despair.
It's the feeling of never asking to be here in the first place
and then wondering why, what's it really all about?
It's hating the human condition. Having to act a part in order to fit in
and then seeing that ultimately you're hurting people in the process.
Wishing you could undo and change it all, but not being able to do anything about it.
Wishing you could say sorry, but never having that opportunity.
It's knowing full well that it's all bound to go wrong anyway.
It's stupidly saying or doing things totally out of character
in situations you never wanted to be in the first place...

Then adding the inevitable sadness and heartbreak of real life events into the mix, such as:
Losing your loved ones, ill-health, heart attacks, endless breakdowns,
ventures failing, hopes and dreams being crushed, always failing at everything,
all the trouble in the world, war, disease, suffering, neverending strife,
seeing people vote for the same old right-wing parties over and over again,
never learning from those mistakes, with life just getting worse each time...

Depression is a horrible experience. I wouldn't wish it on anyone.
Unfortunately though, me and depression... we're joined at the hip.
