Curled up in a Ball while Iraq is Crumbling.
Depression is a very dark place to be. Scary, too, considering that stuff ACTUALLY happens as you dwell alone in your little hovel of emotional incapacity.

Fourteen Killed as Turkish train hits minibus.
Millions stranded by Bangalese Floodwaters.
Columbia's biggest cocaine haul ever discovered.
...and another car bomb in Baghdad.
Is that all the world can offer? Throwing segments of beliefs and religion, add a touch of terror an threat, top it off with natural disasters and- well- you wonder why my days are spent curled up into a ball in a black room with minmal furnishings.
My head is in a dark enough place as it is, even without these other so called cultural "dilemmas".
And people wonder why depression is so prevalent in society today. There is even a strand of depression, ironically called "SAD", standing for Seasonal Affective Disorder, that is induced by certain seasons, yearly event anniversaries, heat, cold, you name it, and if you get depressed by it, you may just be "SAD."
After 9/11, PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) numbers rose dramatically. This was also linked to a higher rate of sustance abuse, and social withdrawal. As PTSD is an anxiety disorder, and substance abuse usually is brought upon by stress, this is no big surprise. PTSD levels within the New York region rose 4.1 percent in the wake of the 9/11 attacks, compared to a study done in 1999.
