Life can be going absolutely perfect and it’ll hit. Someone could have just given you the world and it won’t matter, those emotions are inescapable, inevitable. Not to make distracting film connections but the quote “Dread it, run from it, destiny arrives nonetheless” really does depression justice as an accurate depiction. When depression hits, it hits and it hits fucking hard. This is out of our control, but the important thing to remember is that’s okay. Some things you can control, some you can’t. It takes wisdom to accept that difference. As odd as it sounds, sometimes you are not the master of your mind. Sometimes you are not the captain of your ship. Sure, be arrogant, tell yourself it’s your life and you’re in control... putting a bandaid on a cut that needs stitches won’t do shit. The pride in your heart will deceive you, pride is the anasthesia that deadens the pain of stupidity. You have to accept what’s going on, you have to understand where you are. Sometimes you’re going to have bad days, guess what, THATS LIFE. It’s not fair, it’s not deserved, but life is not fair. Once you accept and understand that depression, that this shit, just happens and there’s nothing wrong with you, that’s the first step to living with it - and if you’re still breathing, you’re winning. See it as normal, because it is normal, and there is not a damn thing wrong with you. Depression is not a situation that you beat, it is a situation that you survive. You’re not all powerful, you’re not the king of the jungle, you’re human. But that’s the thing, humans are not the strongest creatures or the best to survive out in the woods with claws, fur, and a real immune system, but humans - you - are fucking resilient! That is our strength. The ability to say “fuck you” and keep going. This might sound like an odd combination to accept that you’re not in control and to caution against pride but then to support resilience; please understand that these go together. You can accept that you’re not in control and instead of denying that and lying to yourself, and instead of surrendering since you’re not in control, you can accept that sometimes it’s not your day, not your year, not your time - but goddamn it keep moving forward anyways. Even though we know and understand that this is something we cannot control, what we can control is whether or not we let it win. Depression throws you into a black pit of despair until you choose to let it win. In a way, that’s the best thing about it! It can’t do shit to you!! Depression can not kill you. It can influence you, it can sway you, and can overwhelm you, it can make you indifferent to death or to wish death, it can control you - but it physically will not kill you. As for me, if my depression wants me dead so badly, it can fucking kill me itself. I’m not doing it’s work for it. I accept that the enemy is dangerous, I accept that the enemy is powerful and manipulative and knows my deepest fears better that I ever will - and that they use that shit against me. But I state, in my defiance, that if this shit wants me dead then it can start shutting down my organs or destroying my cells or weaken my bones from inside instead of hiding and residing in my brain waiting for me to do the work for it. Depression, fuck you. If you want me dead, do it yourself. Last night was bad. It was bad without warning, without reason, and without relief or escape. It was the worst it’s been in a year, it was just like it used to be when it controlled me... and all I could do as I lay crumpled in the floor of the shower in the dark was say “not today.”

There needs to be a phrase for “I acknowledge your apology and appreciate it but it does not make things better.” instead of just saying “It’s okay.” all the time.

“Yesterday,

All my troubles seemed so far away.

Now it looks as though they're here to stay.

Oh, I believe in yesterday.

Suddenly,

I'm not half the man I used to be.

There's a shadow hanging over me.

Oh, yesterday came suddenly.

Why she had to go, I don't know.

She wouldn't say.

I said something wrong,

Now I long for yesterday.

Yesterday,

Love was such an easy game to play.

Now I need a place to hide away.

Oh, I believe in yesterday.”

- Paul McCartney

“What sober couldn't say,

Couldn't break through under the influence of you.

Incoherent, truth serum,

Just enough to make me bullet proof.

I'm so over this love gone violent.

I'm drunk and brave enough to say what sober couldn't say.”

“When the evening shadows fall,

And you're wondering who to call

For a little company,

There's always me.

Or if your great romance should end,

And you're lonesome for a friend

Darling, you need never be,

There's always me.”

- Elvis Presley

“All the times

That I've cried,

All that's wasted;

It's all inside.

And I feel

All this pain,

Stuffed it down,

It's back again.

And I lie

Here in bed,

All alone...

I can't mend.”

- Aaron Lewis
