"You catch your breath and winter starts again"

seeing this in a random stranger-but-for-lj's journal made me tense up a little and weep a little.

"I suffer from depression. I am a strong, intelligent, capable person. I am neither weak nor stupid nor lazy. Depression is an illness that millions of people suffer from and there is nothing wrong with admitting you need help sometimes.

If you've ever felt this way, copy this and paste it into your LJ. Maybe if we start talking about how we survive depression, we'll realize we aren't alone."

performing functionality doesn't mean i'm not hurting. like lyric's knee, or anyone else's chronic injury, physical or mental, you forget how to evaluate pain, because you can't afford to stop and do so.
