Im not clinically depressed anymore, but I do still remember. But people want to help. So they try harder to make you feel hopeful and positive about the situation. You explain it again, hoping theyll try a less hope-centric approach, but re-explaining your total inability to experience joy inevitably sounds kind of negative; like maybe you WANT to be depressed. The positivity starts coming out in a spray — a giant, desperate happiness sprinkler pointed directly at your face. And it keeps going like that until youre having this weird argument where youre trying to convince the person that you are far too hopeless for hope just so theyll give up on their optimism crusade and let you go back to feeling bored and lonely by yourself.
