这并不是说愤怒是不真实或不正常的。它是。和总是有道理的。但愤怒排在第一，其次才是主要情绪。有时，最初的情绪甚至没有被察觉或意识到，因为它隐藏在表面之下。想象一棵树，它的树干和树枝高大高大地高于地面，而树根埋在地下。这些树根对树有什么作用?他们喂养它，对吧?把树干和树枝想象成你外在的愤怒，人们看到的那部分。但在表面之下是愤怒的根源，助长了它。 If a student was walking down the hall at school and someone tripped him, he might jump up in anger ready to fight, angry. But right before that, he might have felt embarrassment. If a teenager is late for curfew and her parents have been pacing the house, when she walks in late they might argue and be mad and punish her. But right before that, they were worried. There can be any number of emotions below that surface that trigger anger, and depression is one of them.

那些没有杀死我们的只会让我们更强大。我们都听说过cliché。这可能对某些人来说是正确的，但对我来说不是。过去几周，我的抑郁症一直在肆虐，让我经历了一场痛苦的考验。但这并没有让我变得更坚强。它让我变得更虚弱。这让我很累。这让我非常沮丧。
