I have been really depressed for about two weeks now. See this is the kind of depression brought on by life's sh!ttiness, so my medication is only but so effective. The medecine keeps away the feelings of hopelessness and it dampens the utter crappy feeling a bit, but it doesn't make it better. I don't really feel like mentioning the reasons for the depression, but they are valid and fairly serious. It sucks when you are sad and realize that your outlook has nothing to do with it; things just suck.
