Side note: I've been going through mental stress for the past few days and depression has been my friend. Work has been stressful lately hence the depression. I have to write articles as well which is also choking. I need rest.
I'm going to bail out from work tomorrow with the excuse that I woke up feeling sick. I'd rather not talk about my constant depression to anyone at work or I may be considered weird. oh ..how I want to quit. I'd skip the rest of the story for another article.
