I used to laugh at people who suffered from depression, because I thought that it was just a made up condition. However, since I appear to have be under its effects for the last couple of months, I have changed my mind (see my Big Thread in Loveline).
I've been sad a lot lately, and I have almost no motivation to do anything anymore. When I do start something, I have to push myself to complete it. I have very little appetite now, and I'll go for hours before I realize that I'm hungry. I'm tired almost all of the time, and I can go from content to extremely angry as fast as you can snap your fingers. Pretty much anything can irritate me now, even something as simple as the presence of another person in the room (like my parents, for example) even though they've been there all along. There are times where I've just wanted to cry, but I can't.
Fortunately, it seems to be subsiding. I haven't wanted to take a nap in the middle of the day since last Thursday and my mood is becoming more stable.
I don't think I'll make fun of depressed people anymore.
