A friend of mine brought this to my attention. It's not very WTF-ish, but it is kind a funny in a sad way

Actually, as someone who's suffered from depression to the point of being forced to sign a 'I will not kill myself' contract with a therapist many years after the fact- you really do get scared of feeling better. In that state a person is extremely out of touch with 'the other side' of their emotions. Although the fact that she's writing about it says she's either distanced from any of her emotions or just grasping onto them for the attention... so I haven't got a clue.
I for one never talked to anyone about my depression, not even 'omg 4 teh attentions" and only vaguely mentioned my suicidal tendancy to a friend- call it a plea in disguise. I'm not sure any of my closest friends knew I was depressed let alone suicidal. Even knowing the signs from being there I was shocked when a friend in college turned out to be suicidal, I found out after his accidental death.
All of that is many many years behind me now. So, I donno.

Well, like I mention, I too have had my share of depression so I do have my knowledge of what you're talking about - even though I don't completely agree with it. It is strange to start feeling better after feeling incredibly low for a long periods, but scary? Also the way she makes it sounds - it's not the deal here. What I understood, she doesn't want to feel good for the art sake.
Oh, I dunno XDD

I can understand why he'd feel that way about his depression periods and art. I've done it myself because I notice my artwork is more emotional and heartfelt... sometimes I wish the depression would stick around only for that :/ Or find some way to bottle that up and take a dose when needed.

I think I read what she wrote in a different way. I read it as her being dubious about actually feeling better. As if she didn't really believe it may be happening.

It was very strange to not feel depressed as I started getting better. I still go into tiny bouts of it, but that's mostly related to another issue I have been getting assistance with. :-/

One of my most sparkling experiences with a fail doctor had to be when I was 12 or 13. I started menstruating at 11, and had problems since day one, which included vomit inducing cramps, crippling cramps, and severe mood problems. The doctor told my mother it was all in my head and prescribed me CHILDREN'S MOTRIN, after of course, he screamed at me for menstruating at such a young age, becuase obviously, it was my fault, even though I was in excellent shape and not overweight.
