Fundamentals Of Depression

Funky title, huh?

I was thinking. Well, actually I was listening to Shinedown’s “Sound of Madness” and one of the lines says “the darkest hour never comes in the night…” and the song is about depression and people that can’t handle it. I really like the song, they’re exactly right.

Anyways, that one line got me thinking. When I’m depressed, I believe the lowest point is in the morning. (This morning is a good example.) Why is that? Here’s my theory. In the morning you wake up to find your life the same and you’re already dissatisfied. In the afternoon you’re generally doing something so your mind is not focused on the bothersome thing. At night you’re looking forward to sleeping and getting temporary relief and perhaps the morning will bring something new. Of course when morning comes and nothing has changed… the ugly cycle rears its head and you shoot back to your lowest point.

Does that make sense? Maybe that’s just me, I believe that’s how my pattern is. This is all assuming something is depressing you to begin with.
