Depressing Hallway

Depressing Hallway

The architecture was amazingly stark and sterile, this must've been one depressing place.

If this were lit and clean it wouldn't look so bad. I've worked in hospitals built in the 1960s that looked like this.

Depressing? I've seen much more deppessing things, like your boyfriend crying and there's nothing you can do. If you had been there, you would have agreed. You'd have to know him like I do to completely understand.
If someone here knew me and my whole depressing life, they would definetly agree that when it comes to depression, I take the cake. And I eat it too. MUHAHA!

Don't wanna clutter up the site, so I'd just invite you to come over to the forum (links at top of page) and start comparing notes. If you're going to claim to have the "most depressing life", then you damn well better back it up!

Actually, I probably don't have the most depressing life. I just think it's pretty damn depressing. I was just joking around. Sorry.

Rita your comments really bug me, like you think these places were paradise. Just remember you woked there not lived there.. you didnt have to suffer the mistreatment, at the end of the day you can pack your stuff and just go home. These places are not nice, lit and clean or damp and dismal like this, they are all the same.. purely horrible.

Why do I feel that someone or something is waiting just around the corner getting ready to grab me any second ?

If there was a little more light, this would remind me of some of the hallways of my high school...!
