cheer up

you can't cheer up a depressed person. j and i stepped out last night. told him that i had spent the entire day in a funk. he replied with cheering me up as his goal. that's when i told him that it would be pointless and probably counter-productive to try and cheer me up.

you can't cheer up a depressed person. your best bet is to try and distract them. he did a pretty good job of that. unfortunately, i'm really not going to be able to continue with him much longer. he continues to be my cheering section. half wonder if he wouldn't think my passing wind is cute.

you can't cheer up a depressed person. i did stay over at j's last night. talked to molly grrl and her boy for hours and we drank heavily. it was fun but when j brought me home this morning i walked in the house and ran smack into a wall. not an actual wall but the depression isn't gone. i'm not cheered up. i didn't expect it though.

you can't cheer up a depressed person. we aren't sad. it's altogether different. there is usually no real cause for the state we find ourselves in. if you try to make us happy we can sense it. i know that i end up feeling truly guilty for not helping you out. i feel stressed about it, actually. thank you for trying anyhow.
