catch 22

The catch 22 of depression is sitting at home lamenting not having any friends after you’ve pushed them all away and hidden in your room alone.

Most of the time I just want to be alone. Sometimes though, I want to pretend like everything is fine and put on my happy face and pretend to be sociable. But my mask is wearing thin and I can’t fake wanting to be out there in the real world.

I feel like I have no desire to get over this bout of depression because I really can’t see the point in being happy. I just want to curl up and listen to sad songs and hiss at anyone who gets near (physically or emotionally).
