I'm depressed. 
 
 I'm lazy. 
 
 And I ca n't tell the difference between the two. 
 
 Some days, it's a struggle to get anything done. Others, well, I'm a productive member of society. 
 
 I feel like this is my fate for eternity. I know that's fatalistic, and that I'm probably wrong, given the modern level of psychiatric treatment, but I'm not sure how much hope I have to fundamentally change. 
 
 I wo n't kill myself though. It would hurt way too many people around me. It would n't improve their lives in the long run. 
 
 But the question sometimes pops into my head, would it improve mine? 
 
 And in those moments, dear reader, those moments of pain and struggle, is it truly compassionate to insist that I live? 
 
 It is not.
