My boyfriend has just broken up with me because I've been feeling a little sad lately and he thinks I spend too much time feeling sorry for myself - he's always laughed at people like that, he thinks depression isn't real and that everyone who gets into a slump every now and then does so for attention.

I think that is basically what is happening in this song as well. I've seen this happen in other people's lives, and now it's happening in mine.

@deftly What a cunt your boyfriend is. As a person who's been suffering with generalized anxiety and clinical depression on a daily basis for 7 years - it is very much real.
