Solving the Equation of My Depression, Part Three

“BACHELORETTE #3, give me three words to describe yourself”.

“Melancholy. Gassy. Melancholy.”

Me on a dating show.

For those who think depression is trendy, I politely ask you to “go fuck yourself”. 

I’ve enabled myself for years. 

“You don’t want to go out…just bail!”

“You are worthless so skip school/work!”

“You think people love your pathetic ass? TELL HIM YOU AREN’T INTERESTED”

The last thing I would ever think would be “Go on, be trendy”.
