CATCHING DEPRESSION

It's sort of like being around someone with a bad cold.

You are sympathetic, but you're also trying real hard not to get close to them.

You pick up their used tissues with a clean tissue.

You stay out of their direct sneeze or cough path.

You are careful to wash your hands a lot.

But even with all of that, sometimes you simply catch their cold.

And then you don't have anyone around to feel sorry for you, or pick up your tissues, because that first person is still sick.
