A good many years ago, I wrote an entry about my depression.  I took it down a few days later, due to the lack of understanding by friends that I had at that time.  It was a very lonely period in my life.  A time that  would rather never experience again.  But I fear that I'm heading down the same path again.  So I will write about it again.  This ( Read more... )
