That's it. The title is the post. It's all there.

To have an imagination is simply to have the ability to make images that are not directly in front of you. When I hear people describe depression, it often sounds like the imagination shuts down— the brain just can’t make a picture of tomorrow that’s worth living for.
This isn't entirely true. The pictures of tomorrow can be there, they just can't be believed. A future is a fantasy as far from reality as any Hollywood RomCom.

OK - an addendum. It is not my intention to be annoyingly cryptic, it's just that if I take too long going through the mental journey to compose a post at the end of it it all seems so blindingly obvious that to write it down seems insulting. I need to work on blatting stuff out more quickly rather than spending so long revising and refining that the end result feels out-of-date and the arguments self-evident.
