I’m cleaning out all of my draft posts in WordPress, and I found this note from August 2004. (!!!!)? I’d just publish it and leave it at that, but it seemed an important enough point to not bury in the archives….
Adam nails it rather precisely, the mind of depression:
The scariest thing of all is trying to parse out what things I’ve said or done in the last six months that took the final shape they did as a result of the depression.
I can see (as if through a glass, darkly) how that mindset has been operating in my own life. I hesitate to say for how long.
