Depression is like a background app that drains your battery

One of those apps that you can’t just shut down by going into the settings and turning it off. It’s one of those hidden apps you can’t ever seem to find the uninstall option or the ‘disable’ toggle for. 

One of those apps that’s still there, even when you reset to factory settings, because it CAME with the phone, apparently. And even the manufacturer is unwilling or incapable of helping you figure it out.  

“Bring it in and we’ll run a diagnostic.”  And then they come back. “Everything looks fine.”  

But it isn’t, because the battery is still draining faster than it should. 

So you just learn to adapt and to either leave your phone plugged in all the time, or to carry a charger with you, or you just stop using the phone as much and let it stay in sleep mode.
