night falls

"If you’re still at the point when you’re even just barely going through the motions—showing up at work, paying the bills—you are still okay or okay enough. A desire not to acknowledge depression in ourselves or those close to us—better known these days as denial, is such a strong urge that plenty of people prefer to think that until you are actually flying out of a window, you don’t have a problem."

-

Prozac Nation, Elizabeth Wurtzel

I experience this often. I can’t possibly be depressed because I do stuff. Until you’re spending a day in my head, don’t pretend to know a damn thing about whether or not I am depressed.

32. emir-dynamite said: I disagree with Elizabeth Wurtzel’s experience profoundly. And, man, she can have her own experience – my problem is that it gets presented as authoritative, especially for ~young people~.
