and don't forget apathy, fear, morbidness etc etc, it's like every negative emotion you've ever had rolled into one.
Somebody ~(a really nice person) asked me a few weeks ago what Depression was actually like (the first time anyone has ever bothered to ask me that) and I thought God how I wish I could be the one asking that question. I didn't really tell the person because when you tell it like it is it sounds so melodramatic.
I got really annoyed the other day though because my friend who is an alcoholic took me round to a friends flat (also an alcoholic) I never judge them because of their alcohol addiction because I know it's an addiction and this person was sitting slumped in the settee a bit spaced out with an empty wine bottle in front of her and had the audacity to tell ME that I needed to pull MYSELF together! I just sort of bit my tongue and politely said "it's not that simple. Somebody else (who deals in drugs, makes a living by selling them and takes them himself every day) told a friend of mine that I needed to take up a hobby like Fishing or something! It really annoys me.
