this is a troubling read but evelyn lau tells it like it is. i hope nothing serious has inspired you to post it ...

no, nothing in particular. i've been meaning to share it for a while now. i think it's one of the best essays i've read about depression.

thank you for taking the time to type, or paste, as the case may be.

[doubleindemnity]

there was definitely quite a bit of typing and only one instance of pasting.

you're welcome. it struck me really hard the first time i read it years ago.

i haven't read volumes or anything but i find i'm starting to read writing on depression especially for the idiosyncracies of each author's illness - since, as she says, it always sounds the same when people talk about their depression.
