I think that has a lot of impact on you.

I speak of a clinical depression that is the background of your entire life, a background of anguish and anxiety, a sense that nothing goes well, that pleasure is unavailable and all your strategies collapse.

My mom didn't use face cream, like, nothing at all. She's got great skin and looks very youthful.
