Crazy, Weak, and Worthless?

Crazy, Weak, and Worthless?

Even attempting to define the condition is painful for me. Our world does not accept kindly those suffering from depression. We are looked upon as a bit "crazy"; weaklings who feel sorry for ourselves; people who forget to "count their blessings."

To feel depressed is to be "blue" day after day; to experience tiredness that never goes away, not even after ten or twelve hours of sleep; to lack energy for even the smallest of chores; to not be enthusiastic about anything; to be unable to focus or concentrate; to turn molehills into mountains; to be overly sensitive to comments.
