She's still your mother, so try to be nice about it.... even if she's not.

Depressed? Have you talked to a doctor about that?
Or are you just "depressed", under the weather, feeling blue?
Don't think about it... enjoy life, it's very very very very likely the only one you've got.
Why squander it on some fairy tale you were once sold?
