Please don't take this too seriously.

My therapist is a little older than me, but not bad, and I might consider it if she wasn't German - too enthusiastic about attaching the electrodes as it is.

Some jokes are also true.

Yes, alas you're spot on about Sister Bendy and his history degree.

I'm not dead yet!

Thorn forbids you to die before the war starts. Why not let the world do its thang!

Saw the rapist yesterday. She's smart. I told her that I haven't felt this depressed in probably five or six years. She used this fact to counter my belief that depression is my normal state, and that being happy is exceptional. Well, being happy probably is exceptional, but being this mind-crushingly depressed is exceptional, too. So I have to find a way to survive it without losing the good habits I've developed during my year in therapy, or during my two years in school, or during the last five or six years of doing relatively okay.

[Thorn]

Thats your problem Lorizael you should see therapists, not rapists, I'd be depressed too.

[Buster Crabbe's Uncle]

Did anything in particular bring this spell on?

[Lorizael]

Not sure. Probably a combination of factors. The only two big things that have happened recently are me starting school at Maryland and, uh, a friend of mine being arrested and charged with committing a horrible crime.

[Buster Crabbe's Uncle]

It's actually a good sign if you have a reason to feel bad. Means you're normal.

[Lorizael]

I appreciate the sentiment, but I'm not normal. While I'm not always this bad, I don't really have a good idea of what being happy means and I've been suffering bouts of prolonged depression for most of my life. There's a distinct possibility that the best I'll ever be able to do is manage it, diabetes-style, and that I can't actually "cure" my depression.
