Depression Euphemisms- They helped me get through the day!

I’m not doing my best.

I’m happy to be here.  Thanks for asking.

I’m having a tough day, but it’s better now that I’m out of the house. 

It’s not a great day, but I’m happy to see you!

I’m using my treatment plan!

It’s chasing me today.

It’s lurking.

There are many more. Usually, I just say- “I’m really depressed today.” or, “Yesterday was really tough.”

Since I wrote Get it Done When You’re Depressed I feel better- I can visualize the list of tips in the front of the book and pick one when the days are tough.

Bla. Dumb depression. Terrible depression! But I will not let it ruin my life. The days may be difficult, but I will keep going- always.
