I know I haven't been on lj for a long time. I guess I'm sort of depressed right now.

I don't really feel like doing much of anything. I don't read much online, and don't keep up as well with TV shows I was watching before. I'm not really reading any books I wanted to read. I haven't seen any Doctor Who lately - I haven't watched Waters of Mars,

Yes. Good idea. Stop trying to feel like a failure. :) Just feel like... you... and not like some self-evaluation induced by the perceived opinion of others. (Easy to say, hard to do, I know. But in my humble opinion trying is the key

Naw, you didn't offend me. :)

I think that for people whose depressions tend to be internal/chemical, "act like you're happy," really doesn't work. (That would be most of my family, for example.) But I don't think I'm prone to that sort of chemical depression - when I get down (even for long periods), it's usually triggered by something external. So it makes sense - for me - to go externally to cheer myself up.

Happy New Year!
