Eddie. Bingo. What an excellent way to describe "it" ("it" = depression = that thoughtless thug who sits on my chest and taunts me unmercifully about not being able to get up, and when I do - follows me around the house and cuts me off at the pass).
Weird. I just remembered that I had a dream about being "cut off at the pass" right before I woke up this morning.
I was driving down a hill and there was a funeral procession in the lane to the left of me. I couldn't hear the loud speaker of a cop car behind me, admonishing me to change lanes so he pulled in front of me and literally cut me off, hitting the corner of my car and driving me into the curb. Then, he got out of the car and berated me for interrupting a funeral procession - and not listening to his loudspeaker warning, and I kept asking "who is going to pay for the damage to my car?" and he said "you may have to pay for it because it was, after all, all your fault."
Then, the phone rang (thank goodness) and it was my husband calling from the airport.
Whew. What an anxiety dream!
Again, I liked your words about depression. This morning (just a few minutes ago) after taking my son to school I thought "how am I going to stay awake and get everything done" (and I'm on Adderall AND Wellbutrin in the a.m.).
