Demonic Possession as a Metaphore for Depression

( Tell a depressive that people really do like them, or they're not a worthless person, or they've achieved many fine things in their life, or that if they'd just do X it might improve their situation, and you're likely to see a dazzling display of inventive and energetic refutation... )

I bring this up because I've been doing it a lot recently. I am aware of it when I'm given a chance to step away and think about it. Arguing with me at the time though will just make me dig my heels in and fight tooth and nail. I don't mean to be an ass, it's mostly reflex.

*** FYI: Not feeling depressed at all right now - just thinking through some bad habits ***

Got home ready for bed only to find that the linens are in the washing machine. Crap. Guess I'm sleeping on the couch tonight.

On the upside, it's a pretty damn comfy couch.
