aaand she's back
| You gotta fall asleep in the shower, then wake up when the hot water runs out.
| Shit comes and goes. That's just how it is. Just gotta try to make the best of it regardless.

And that way of thinking of it is why you don't do it. Don't try to blame it on depression. While sure, depression often makes those mindsets worse, you still have a choice of how to view things.
Instead of listing taking a shower as a 21 step process just to have an excuse to bitch about it and not do it, just think of it as taking a shower. Because that's all your doing. Showering. It's not hard, everyone does it, it's just that you choose to view it like that.
| yeah dude just don't be depressed lmao
| i never got the sleeping on the floor bed. sure maybe taking a shower is a pain but crashing into your bed rather than the floor shouldn't be hard

If you wanna completely ignore what I said, then sure. But there is a line where it goes from being purely because of depression to being because of you as well.
I have depression. Like, really fucking heavy depression. I've had it for years. Right now I'm without any job, rarely shower and can barely get out of bed in the morning because of it.
But picking apart every little action you take into steps like done above will only make it worse. I know from experience.
| Complaining about depression is completely understandable. Venting is healthy and all that. But complaining about it while actively making it worse and pretending like you have absolutely no control over your mind just because you have a mental illness that half the fucking world struggles with is just counterintuitive.
The only way to get out of a depressive period is to actively work on your mindset. To actively work against your depression, not with it.

| when you think your depression's gone but you end up sleeping on the floor once again because you're too drained to take a shower
i think i'm gonna have to admit that my depression will simply never go away. in fact she's back and didn't even bring flowers or anything.
