The latest from Hyperbole and a Half is a touching post entitled Adventures in Depression. The story revolves around the authors experience with depression and how she eventually gained a new perspective on her feelings.

I spent months shut in my house, surfing the internet on top of a pile of my own dirty laundry which I set on the couch for "just a second" because I experienced a sudden moment of apathy on my way to the washer and couldn't continue. And then, two weeks later, I still hadn't completed that journey. But who cares - it wasn't like I had been showering regularly and sitting on a pile of clothes isn't necessarily uncomfortable. But even if it was, I couldn't feel anything through the self hatred anyway, so it didn't matter. JUST LIKE EVERYTHING ELSE.

A comment thread started by the author on Reddit expands on this a bit more.
