The first lie depression told me was that I did not have depression.
“Because I could get up in the morning, because I could take a shower and do my makeup and my hair, because I could sit down in my office at home and put in a day’s worth of work, because I could follow the routine day in and day out, my depression told me it wasn’t a big deal that I’d spend all my free time sleeping.
Depression lied about it being relaxing, recovering, and restful. Working takes a lot of energy. It wasn’t an avoidance tactic or an unhealthy coping mechanism.
Going through the performance of each day drained me, but it was ignoring depression that really wore me out.”
- Kelly Jensen, “Five Lies Depression Told Me”

I wish I could throw off the thoughts which poison my happiness. And yet I take a kind of pleasure in indulging them.
