Some Things Depressed People Shouldn’t Do

by

I couldn't resit.You already have a hard enough time trying to get through life with clinical depression. Why make it any harder on yourself? Here are some suggestions about activities to avoid, otherwise you may find your symptoms of depression intensifying. Enjoy.

  • Don’t count the number of dead animlas by the side of the road (not unless that’s part of your job).
  • Don’t watch a documentary called America’s Lost H-Bomb right before going to bed. You won’t sleep for days, wondering about how anyone could loose an 8,000 pound H-bomb for over 50 years.
  • Don’t call anyone from Scotland “Scotch”. They hate that. Of course, you’ll be knocked unconscius before you can have a chance to apologize.
  • Don’t decide to clean the bathroom when anyone in the home has the flu.
  • In a similar vein, don’t clean the floors of your home on a rainy day if you have a dog. Not unless you enjoy muddy pawprints. Otherwise, never mind.
  • Don’t watch any of these movies.
  • If you are an American with a Bachelor’s in English and you move to England, don’t tell the natives you have a degree in English. You won’t be believed. Ever. Not even if you bring the diploma with you.
  • Don’t bang your head against a brick wall. (As George Carlin said, “Well, some people need practical advice”.)
  • Don’t teach a pig to sing. It wastes your time and annoys the pig.
  • Don’t rack your brains trying to remember where you first heard, “Don’t teach a pig to sing. It wates your time and annoys the pig.” Definitely wasn’t EB White.
  • Don’t go out to eat, to the cinema or go shopping on Christmas Day. The employees there do not want to be there and will be really annoyed to see you. Not unless you come prepared with gifts for them, like chocolate, peppermint sticks or money. Then, they’ll at least plaster that fake smile on their faces. Ho-ho-ho.
  • Don’t make your bed unless company is coming over and will, for some reason, enter your bedroom. Life is too short.
  • Don’t write a list entitled, “Some Things Depressed People Shouldn’t Do” if you already have depression.
