The Most Depressing Thing You Can Say
I'm feeling so stupid right now I'm surprised the earth doesn't open up and swallow me whole due entirely to my own stupidity. I'm also feeling fat.
I have a hernia and I'm going to have an operation to fix it next week. I'll have to have a general anaesthetic. Whenever you have a general, there's a chance, however slight, that you won't wake up. The only reason I can think of right now to not wish that I don't wake up is that I want to see the Captain America movie later this summer.

I don't like myself enough to be happy. I de-value most of my achievements and accomplishments, purposefully belittling myself because I don't think I've done anything to deserve confidence. My happiness is entirely based on external things that I have no control over.
Not depressing half: Then I pick myself up and try harder. One of these days a girl will think "That Josh kid is pretty worthwhile as a person, and I could totally see myself being with him." I'll post comics, and some day a reviewer will say "That kid really has a passion for comics and has really interesting, new ideas." Fuck that depression, some day I'll be happy for longer than a month at a time.
For the rest of my life there is a constant underlying feeling of anxiety, and the occasional moment of blissful calm that passes as fast as it appears.
It is EXTREMELY depressing to me if it were true. It's quite possibly one of my biggest fears.
