Many of those people go about their daily lives without anyone else knowing that they're suffering inside. I'm one of those people. I put on my happy, smiling face every day and try to trick people into believing that I'm a normal guy. I have a job, I have a girlfriend, I have a great family, and I have great friends. I have hobbies, I have talents, I have creative outlets. I'm pretty healthy, I'm objectionably handsome, and I'm a genuinely nice person. Yet, every day is a battle. There are times when I feel like everything is going straight downhill. Then, I'll have a good day where I climb back up and reach a new high, only to find that there is a huge drop off.
This is my way of dealing with depression. I want to look at it right in the face. I want others to see what I'm going through. I want others to see just how destructive depression can be. And for those who are already suffering with depression, I want you to see how irrational your own depression can be sometimes. I hope that I can witness how irrational my depression is, as well.
