clinical depression? And are you ashamed of it? Do you tell people and if you do, do you ever regret that you have? We are one in four these days, or so we are led to believe, yet you'd think it was rarer than unicorns.
Is it different in America, over here if you have depression you have to be some kind of mentalist freak it's a family embarrassment and spoken about in euphemisms, or whispered about quietly. Oh the comical facial gestures!
And people say things like 'well I told them you weren't very well, but I didn't tell them what with, I didn't think you'd want me to' or 'it's not my place to say so you might not want people to know'...not want people to know?!?!?!! yeah right, because weeping in supermarkets over the courgettes isn't a dead giveaway, it's perfectly normal; it happens all the time.
Oh and doesn't it annoy you when people equate it with unhappiness? Or that most disgustingly vile outburst 'well you LOOK alright' pfft. Like you aren't overly practiced at hiding how you really feel, oh no, I love carrying my heart in my pocket with 'Here's where it hurts please damage' embroidered over the top! Do you think, as I do, that you should be able to shove/drive a screwdriver into the eye of anyone who says this and then tell them you know how they feel because you once stubbed your toe and it really hurt?! I think that would be a good law, one that would set an example, send out the right kind of message.
How lumpy is your carpet and do you have a closet Mr and Mrs West would be impressed by?!
