Diary of the Defeated

A Place Best Avoided

March 10

I've been finding it hard to write more and more. Just getting out of bed lately has been a chore. My depression is paramount and debilitating. I've been figuratively wearing this distress like a cloak; covering me entirely. I am man's abundant sorrow. Even the mirror ignores me.

I haven't a visitor now in months. I can't say that I blame my family and friends. With this perpetual state of melancholy hanging over me, I've become unpleasant to be around. I can't remember the last time I laughed. I should crawl in a hole and isolate from all of society. I am ten miles of bad road on a damaged highway.
