And that's the most frustrating thing
about depression. It isn't always something you can fight
back against hope with. It isn't even something - it's
nothing. And you can't combat nothing. You can't fill it
up. You can't cover it. It's just there, pulling the
meaning out of everything. That being the case, all the hopeful,
proactice solutions start to sound completely insane in contrast
to the scope of the problem.
It would be like having a bunch of dead fish, but no one around
you will acknowledge that the fish are dead. Instead, they offer
to help you look for the fish or try to help you figure out why
they disappeared.
