“Trauma occurs when something happens that’s too horrible for your brain to deal with, so you just store it away. Over time, the horrible thing, which is still there, starts coming out in a variety of ugly ways, causing mental problems that you don’t even associate with the trauma because it happened so long ago.”
― John Moe, The Hilarious World of Depression

“there is nothing more intoxicating for a depressed person with an alcoholic parent in his past than being told you are loved and wanted.”
― John Moe, The Hilarious World of Depression

“What do you have to be stressed about?” the normies might have said, if I ever talked about these things with normal people. “You have a family, a house, a car, a good job. Just deal with it!” As if I could simply do that. As if I chose this. As if I looked at the options available to me and they were clearly labeled “Perseverance” and “Freaking the Fuck Out All the Time” and calmly said, “Mmm, yes, I select option B.”

“Depression is good at making you think it’s not even there and that you are the problem. Depression wants you to think you made a choice to be this way.”
