I couldn't agree more...
I suffer from major depression (I have not been diagnosed), but I have the symptoms...I find it hard to enjoy life...Nothing excites me...It is the reason why I work and go to school full time, because when I have free days, I just sleep through the day...
This is why I don't do drugs (alcohol included) and I don't own a gun...As I get older, the darkness gets bigger, and I get closer to suicidal ideation..
One thing that protects me, is my parents teaching me to protect my reputation with my life...
The thought of cops discovering my body, and the media writing stories about how I was a "loner" and etc, is enough to not kill myself...
I can't allow myself to be EVER seen as mentally weak...Fcuk that...I would rather carry the cross until it breaks my back...
