What would happen if you got lost in the darker recesses of your mind?

You'd fall into a lengthy spell of anger and disappointment, finding nothing of value in anything you have or come across. You'd probably turn to substance abuse. Become emotionally unstable and destroy any relationship you have with anyone. And if they're not smart enough to get the fuck away you will probably break them mentally and emotionally. In many cases you'd probably end up losing your job and all motivation. That's just a short summary.
