Every night, I would promise myself that I would go the next morning, but when the time came to get out of bed, I simply couldn’t. Inevitably, as I fell further and further behind, it became impossible to catch up on my own; I was completely paralyzed by feelings of failure and inadequacy. Most of all, I didn’t want anyone to know, so I pretended, even to myself, that I wasn’t depressed and everything was fine...
