Depression sucks.

And there's not a lot more than that to say.

My parents know a psychologist who does disability evaluations in Spokane, Washington.  When the subject of my foot trouble and the continuous pain came up in connection with applying for disability, he said, "Of course he's depressed.  Everyone who's in constant pain is depressed."

I hate that it's so hard to find joy in anything any more, or find sufficient motivation to do things.

It still boggles me that CIGNA declared further treatment on my foot "medically unnecessary" at a time when I couldn't walk without my foot breaking open and bleeding.

"Oh, so this happens to everyone, hm? Normal, expected behavior? ...Uh-huh. Didn't think so."
