I don't want to be submerged by depression.

Yes, I suffer terribly from depression. I have to work at being happy, it's not my natural instinct. My natural instinct is, if something wonderful happens, to throw water in my own face.

I'm what you call a Depression sailor.

I've never understood the 'things to do before you die' idea. If I was ill, I'd be in no mood to have a swim with a dolphin.

Oh! Most miserable wretch that I am! Why have I not learnt how to swim?

Depression is a physical illness.

I had a lot of depression as a kid.

You want to keep the severity of our environmental problems in mind enough to keep yourself motivated but not enough to paralyze you into depression.
