an abundance of details

When you're depressed and someone's trying to cheer you up by telling you about all the interesting things they did - how they talked to this person and went for a walk in that place and there were so many beautiful views and enjoyable foods to eat and walks to go on and so on......they mean well, but it all seems so empty. Being depressed is like being cold and not being able to warm up and there's something about these cheerful, positive narratives that reinforces that feeling.
