Fighting Depression
The mania was never really mania…I was never that happy. But what they called mania was my futile attempt to suppress the depression. I had lived with depression (reminder: sadness from the bad and lack of good, nothing to do with serotonin reuptake) my entire life…I had just always accepted it as the norm and never fought back. 1995 was my year to fight back against the depression, against anyone and anything who crossed me. So I fought. At times I fough hard. I didn’t want to be depressed anymore so I convinced myself that I wasn’t. The power of the mind is an amazing thing but it was only the beginning of my long career in mind control, so to be perfectly honest, I wasn’t very good at it. Sometimes I went too far, convinced myself that I was too happy. Most of the time though, I just wasn’t strong enough…it would last for a while and then something bad would happen and I would realize that it was all a facade and go back to the depression. This happened over and over, which yes, may have appeared to be manic depression, but in reality it was just an empty life with an unsuccessful dream.
