one of the things that drives me nuts is that people think that if you're depressed that you lose the ability to laugh or smile or do anything that isn't sad and mopey
told this story to someone yesterday
during the last week i was at work, i got an email from the person sitting in the cubicle next to me
he didn't mean to send it to me, because it was about me
until recently i had my own office for years and didn't have to worry about my habits bothering anyone, but when the company moved in december they decided i was only getting a cubicle
anyway this person was telling someone how my humming was making him a little crazy but he wasn't sure whether or not to talk to me about it - his last line was "well at least if he's humming he's not depressed"
when i'm buried in the pain, no i don't hum...or laugh...or smile
but that's not how it works, for me at least, 24/7
if i'm not lost to it all, i can still smile and laugh at things that are funny or hum stupid/happy/sappy songs
sometimes i wish it was the other way around because if your sad ALL the time you can get used to it - but once you get a break and it hits again, even if the pain is ACTUALLY less than before, the contrast between the two feelings is stronger and it can truly fell worse
