“Consciousness returns to its own dark thoughts and bad memories as reliably as kids to their own scabs, and maybe it's not so difficult to understand why. The mind doesn't like unresolved issues.

Worse than that, depression isn't just a memory, it's a state of mind. If you remember it, you're in it.”
