depression is like a lot of things tonight it is like this: -empathizing with the tea kettle who screams and screams until someone comes along and removes her from the fire -clutching tightly onto a way too hot mug despite the discomfort because at least you feel something tangible (sidenote, related) comparable to holding a piece of your own heart/a piece of someone else's -listening to every song you can think of that will make you cry and doing absolutely nothing about it -coming home from work with expectations of accomplishment but staying in bed/isolating for the remainder of the day -avoiding mirrors, or even worse getting lost in them for a half hour trying to figure out what exactly you even look like -inducing an early sleep cycle to avoid any further feelings of heaviness but it is ok! or at least it will be! tomorrow is a new day for us all -
