My glasses have a smudge on them.
What is depression?
In general I assume that I'm a relatively happy person. I can go day by day without succumbing to the pressures of life or the leisures of break. I smile when I feel like it and do what I want.
Is it depression when I just want to stay at home and wallow in uselessness instead of going out and interacting? Is it depression when I spend hours playing games by myself in a half lit room while everyone else in the house bustles back and forth noticeably? How could it be depression if I'm not sad? How could it be depression if I'm content?
I feel like there's something I was supposed to do, but I can't remember what.
