I don't know whether or not I have depression, but all I know is that sometimes, maybe out of the blue- a wave of emotion swells in my chest and the unexplained breakdown doesn't happen until someone breaks the dam, one word, one statement, one inconvenient and probably hurtful truth could cause the meltdown.  

I don't want it to happen.   I don't know how to stop it.  People tell me simply to stop, or I'm too emotional, or "man up" but they're not very helpful.  

I want someone to help, but I don't want someone to worry.  Or ask questions, or make me explain.  I just want them to hold me until it dies down.  

Some people will simply tell me to Love Myself.  I don't know how to do that either.  

Even if I do feel happy for myself it is short lived.  

Even if I do have a spirit of a fire, and a grin a thousand miles wide.  I can't help but doubt.

Geoff and Naomi are dead, and they're depressed, but when Geoff's cat Bernie dies as well, they embark on a wild journey to find it in the underworld. ***** When Geoff dies, alongside his girlfriend Naomi, they end up sharing an apartment in the Underworld as skeletons. But after a few years, Geoff starts suffering a mid-death crisis. What's the purpose of going through the motions as a skeleton if you can't really live? Then he gets word that his cat, Bernie, just died and he can collect him and bring him home! Geoff and Naomi hurry to get Bernie only to discover that, due to a clerical error, their cat has been lost. With the hunt for Bernie giving new purpose to Geoff's un-life, he and Naomi begin a quest to get back their cat. Battling skeleton pirates, climbing the sky ladder and facing off against the villain who took Bernie, Geoff is determined to find his purpose - or die a second time trying!
