I'm functional depressed — people don't believe me because I seem fine.

Mornings feel like being asked to climb out of something with no handholds. I don't even have a clean name for it. I just know it keeps running the day. I can get through a workday and then sit in the car for twenty minutes because going inside takes a second start. I figured if anyone would get it, it would be people here. If you crawled out of a similar hole, I want the unglamorous version of how.
