greenstormOff to the rat show in Washington. Back Sunday. Think love at people you know; they could need it.
I will be available by phone only for one particular someone, and you know who you are.
I was depressed from maybe '99 - '02 really badly, with a slow taper upwards to now. I wrote that last post 'cause I realise I'd never talked about it, but sharing my experiences with my friends verbally seems to mean a lot, and it makes sense: the illness is all about shame so you want to hide it. It seems like no one's ever been so awful. So I thought it was time I put it out there. I'm not afraid anymore, cause it's gone and mostly long gone, but this is likely the first time I've spoken of what it felt like.
But hey, if you feel that way right now, you're not alone and it's not your fault. That's all.
