Dashed hopes.

Because of indifference, one dies before one actually dies.
Elie Wiesel

It was really quite amazing how many different tracks the human mind could work on at the same time.

Teens may experiment with drugs or alcohol or become sexually promiscuous to avoid feelings of depression. Teens also may express their depression through hostile, aggressive, risk-taking behavior. But such behaviors only lead to new problems, deeper levels of depression and destroyed relationships with friends, family, law enforcement or school officials.
Symptoms of depression in adolescents are essentially the same symptoms as in adults. Pervasive sadness may be exemplified by wearing black clothes, writing poetry with morbid themes or a preoccupation with music that has nihilistic themes. Sleep disturbance may be evident as all-night television watching, difficulty in getting up for school, or sleeping during the day. Missed classes reflect lack of motivation and lowered energy level. A drop in grade averages can be equated with loss of concentration and slowed thinking. Boredom (dullness) may be a synonym for feeling depressed. Loss of appetite may become anorexia or bulimia. Adolescent depression may also present primarily as a behavior or conduct disorder, substance or alcohol abuse or as family turmoil and rebellion with no obvious symptoms reminiscent of depression.

The trouble was, I had been inadequate all along, I simply hadn’t thought about it.
The one thing I was good at was winning scholarships and prizes, and that era was coming to an end.

After nineteen years of running after good marks and prizes and grants of one sort and another, I was letting up, slowing down, dropping clean out of the race.

This is what I am. I have periods of enormous self-destructive depression, where I go completely off my trolley and lose all sight of reality and reason.

A lot of people don’t realize that depression is an illness. I don’t wish it on anyone, but if they would know how it feels, I swear they would think twice before they just shrug it.

There is much more to an education than a number that is accumulated throughout a few months.
An education is a constant thirst for knowledge. Learning is done in more ways than sitting through a lecture.

Normal people exaggerate how competent and well liked they are. Depressed people do not. Normal people remember their past behaviour with a rosy glow. Depressed people are more even handed in recalling successes and failures. Normal people describe themselves primarily positively. Depressed people describe both positive and negative qualities. Normal people tend to take credit for successful outcomes and deny responsibility for failure. Depressed people accept responsibility for both success and failure. Normal people exaggerate the control they have over what goes on around them. Depressed people are less vulnerable to the illusion of control. Normal people believe to an unrealistic degree that the future holds a bounty of good things and a few bad things. Depressed people are more realistic on their perceptions of the future. In fact, on virtually every point on which normal people show enhanced self regard, illusions of control, and unrealistic expectations of the future, depressed people fail to show the same biases. “Sadder but wiser” does indeed appear to apply to depression.

You’re trying to be cool, you look like a fool to me.
Tell me,
why’d you have to go and make things so complicated?
I see the way you’re acting like you’re somebody else
Gets me frustrated
