I agree that was a very good description of depression.
Also I wanted to clarify something from the post I started this thread with. I said I can't think of any upbeat things to say that aren't lies. I want to be clear that I don't actually lie! It's just that sometimes I think, why not tell 'em what they want to hear? I can't, though, it would be too weird and anyway, why live if you have to pretend to be someone you're not?
However, recently I prepared for a call I had to return by thinking of nuetral rather than negative things to say (in other words not talking about my feelings--just the facts). The call went well and I was glad I had done that.
