That’s one of the first things I’m aware of when I’m down… Everyone around me seems to be alive and well. Sometimes it’s frustrating and sometimes I take it personally and say, “just another day in the life of me.”
That’s a good way of putting it. I feel that life is a game of chess and depression makes you feel like that chess game is frozen and you are slowly moving, but when you get to the chess pieces, and you can’t move them you feel as if the game is already over and all you can do now is give up.
