For the benefit of people who are concerned about me:
Almost all of my depression can easily be traced to physiological issues, namely, not eating and drinking correctly (also, to a lesser extent, not getting enough sleep (and *regular* enough sleep) and not maintaining adequate personal hygiene). I can generally tell when I have a minor illness like a cold coming because I get 'my future is bleak and unpromising'; if I don't drink enough water, I get 'oh the woe and pain of my bleeding raw heart' and if I don't eat enough / well enough I get the lack of ability to start doing things.
Of course, this is a self-perpetuating cycle...
