Its visible
And yet easy to hide
It needs attention
But its ignored
It can be treated
But its often not
It can be dangerous
If left alone
The treatment can be multipronged
But some modalities are frowned upon
Go to a psychologist?
Why? Whats wrong with me?
How can talking to someone else
Resolve this?
Take medication?
Out of the question!
What about the side effects
How can meds help me anyway?
Get out of the house?
Youre kidding me, right?
Thats the last thing on my mind!
Start exercising?
Are you joking?
I dont even have the energy
To do the simplest thing!
Call on my friends?
And tell them what?
Everyone is busy with their lives
See my family doctor?
What can he do?
Its not as if I have the flu!
All I want to do is as little as possible
I want to help myself
But its so hard
Thats why I do nothing at all
Its visible
But easy to hide
It can be treated
But its often not!
