It's an off and on thing. It's part of my Bipolar Disorder. The peak of the depression phase was back in early September when I was suicidal, sad all the time, lethargic, lacked interest in life, etc. Things have been getting a lot better since but I'm still miserable quite often thanks to the issue with death and also wanting the world to be something it will never be in my lifetime.

If pinkie pie isn't real, then how do you explain the existence of ponies, huh? If ponies are real, then that's proof that Pinkie Pie is real. Checkmate, christians! Heart
