I'm Not Who Everyone Thinks I Am

42.

So when did the depression first start for you?
I don't know, I can't remember the last time I was happy.

I don't know.
That's the best answer you're going to get so please don't ask me again.

Well, are there any times you do feel happy here?
No, but I'm not going to tell you that.

Yeah, I guess when I have free time.
Wow, I'm better at coming up with bullshit answers than I thought.

Well, why don't you apply for some more free time?
I doubt they'll let me.

How do I do that?
I'd love to spend some more time out of that jail cell I call a bedroom.

You can actually do it through me.
Here, take this form and fill it out and then bring it back to me.
Sounds easy enough, I guess.

They don't allow me to use pens in my room.
Forgot about that little detail.

Go to the recreation room during free time.
They'll give you one there and watch you use it.
Fine, whatever.

Ok, thanks.
I'd rather go home but this is better than nothing.
Baby steps.


I am getting there.
