Depression Is

Nothing is worthwhile.
Everything is heavy.
My mind is too heavy to get up and think about anything.

Yes, no getting out of bed, not even to bathe. Who cares? Great description, Doug.

I've had days like this too, now that I think about it, even if I can't think about it, I think. Good luck in the contest Doug.

Yeah, Chris, it's not the same as wanting to die, but for that day it's rather like not wanting to live.
