“It often has nothing to do with any reality. Nothing had to change. Your perception about things shifts instead. Things that were good become meaningless. Things that were bad become dire. All without anything happening.

Maybe that’s why it’s so flabbergasting when someone tries to say that depression is a choice. I am happy for them in that they don’t have the ability to even understand how powerful the mind can be and how not all depression (or sadness) is situational.

On the other hand, I’m sad for them. Sad that they lack the empathy to understand that some people’s minds work differently from their own. What a two-dimensional existence it must be to think your way of understanding things is the only way.”
