Maybe I'm depressed or just maybe my unconscious child is winning.Your unconscious child would want to play and be happy. Do you want to play and be happy? Do you? I myself, I say I do and yet I find it almost impossible to set foot outside my apartment. It takes a lot for me to do that, these days. I don't know why. I need my children. I really need them, and I don't know how to stop needing them and get on with my life.

You have your children, your wife ... you have your wife, if nothing else ... you have Someone. You are very blessed. I wish you weren't depress-ed. Ew. Bad one. Bless-ed, depress-ed. Baaaad.
