    The Well

    Depression is like a well. Some days there is someone at the top, holding the rope so you can climb up. But you never reach the top. You just keep climbing. Other days, you feel like you are pulling on the rope, and it just unravels and falls to the bottom with you. Most days you are just sitting at the bottom of the well, the top is covered, there is no light, you feel nothing.
