Another story from my depression adventure.

Thanks! Encouragement is always welcome.

Before it happened to me, I don't think I'd ever heard of anyone having such a problem--or if I had, I'm sure I dismissed it as not an illness but someone who was simply lazy or a maybe a shiftless drunk looking for someone to take pity on them. That's definitely the way my family saw it, and even though I spent a lot of time and effort to find 'official' materials to educate them, they chose to stay ignorant, as usual; it's a lot easier just to pass blame, I guess.

One question, though: I've never tried wearing lipstick. Does it help?
