Sometimes I just think depression's one way of coping with the world. Like, some people get drunk, some people do drugs, some people get depressed. Because there's so much stuff out there that you have to do something to deal with it.

About This Quote

When someone is depressed, they may feel like there is no way to deal with the problems in their life. They see no point in getting out of bed every morning and do not know how they will face another day of life.They can become so overwhelmed by these feelings that they end up withdrawing from the world around them. The problem is that depression may not be "coping" with the world; it may be that the world is not coping with them. People who are depressed may feel like they are "coping" by hiding away from their problems because it is too painful to deal with them or to see them brought to light.
