how to tell that depression is clinical

if you should be, and you’re not, and when you shouldn’t be, you are, you’re probably clinical.

this is not to say that depression is always clinical in nature.

sometimes, it’s just about plain old suckage and self-esteem crapola.

sometimes, it’s guilt.

and sometimes, it’s just the recognition that life comes with consequences that are not always pleasant, but which are unavoidable. that’s all.

that’s all.

sometimes, there doesn’t even seem to be a poem in it.

EDIT: Guess I was wrong on the last point. Goddamn sadistic muse.
