Depression isn't about, 'Woe is me, my life is this, that and the other', it's like having the worst flu all day that you just can't kick.

I refuse to totally grow up. I've always been someone who says and does things that push politically correct boundaries.

I've deliberately tried to calm myself down because eventually I want to be a good role model to my kids.
