The point I'm trying to get across is that the term 'depression' has certain specific medical attributes. It's not simply "Oh, I'm fed up today for some reason" nor "Oh pity me, I'm feeling so sorry for myself". It absolutely doesn't mean "My life appears to have a god-shaped hole in it. Hmmm... what I really need is some dead-eyed godzombie arsehole to give me some sort of Good News™?" Anybody spot the for now qualifier in my title? That refers to the fact that I can make no promises that the suicidal element of my depression will not, at some point, get the better of me and I am unable to continue posting. And I have no feelings about that either way. I certainly have no imaginary gods or similar whispering in my ear - if only it was that simple, I could get myself sectioned and sedated for the rest of my life.

At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
