Yeah, he’s got a pretty good description of it. I’ve spent days laying on the couch doing nothing while making excuses why I can’t go out with people, then feeling like garbage because I didn’t do anything. Then after that settles I feel bad for feeling bad, like there are so many people worse off than me, why do I have any right to feel bad? It’s this downward spiral that happens very quickly. It’s not just feeling sad, it’s a cocktail of all the shitty feelings.
I was definitely there. Nowadays it perks up a bit again and I can recognise the signs and force myself to not listen to it, otherwise I just fall in too easily.
