When I am depressed, I cannot make myself care about anything. Sometimes I get so tired, that I cannot act like my usual self. Sometimes talking is exhausting, so I don’t. And if I cannot, I stay in my room all day. I hide. Doing things that I enjoyed yesterday, but that I do not enjoy today. Going to bed at night, hoping that the next day I will go back to something like normal.

When I Cannot
When I am depressed, I cannot make myself care about anything. Sometimes I get so tired, that I cannot act like my usual self. Sometimes talking is exhausting, so I don’t. And if I cannot, I stay in my room all day. I hide. Doing things that I enjoyed yesterday, but that I do not enjoy today. Going to bed at night, hoping that the next day I will go back to something like normal.
