1. Have you ever had a phase of depression? Or are you in one
right now? Or are you always depressed?
Yeah, I had a bout with depression for about... three years, I think. It still feels terrible to think about it.
2. Why were/are you depressed?
Er, if you don't mind, I'd rather not talk about it right now. It still haunts me. Perhaps another day, I will bring it up. I'll just say it's definitely a situation you do not want to be in, by any means.
3. Does anything bad happen to you often?
Not any more, no. I transferred schools and got a new start, and I've made a lot of friends and acquaintances. None of them, though, know the entirety of what I've gone through, and I hope they never do, for their sake. *shudders* It was the worst three years of my life...
And Cheesey, don't worry. It does get better, it just takes time. Hopefully you can find a distraction that will help you through the bad times, so you can get back to the good ones. Perhaps TPM is that distraction, perhaps not. But it does get better. Just keep trying to get through it, and you will. Good luck to you, my friend.
