Brilliantly said. I've just been dumped on by the depression bug myself, not surprisingly given the weather, and gone from being up and ready to move as soon as I wake and I've stretched out all the painful bits, to taking five hours to even get out of bed. Five hours of sitting, staring at a computer, being hungry and yet somehow lacking the will to get myself food. Twelve hours to get dressed. Negative, intrusive thoughts will surely follow and I'll have to fight those too. My usual method is to get on with living well, and I am doing so, but at such a treacle slow pace... It'll get better, but it's more like trying to work through a bad mental health 'cold' than any sort of 'bad mood'. Tom, you're amazing. I don't think it hurts to tell you once more that you do wonderful things and there are very many of us that benefit from your existence, every day, usually in concrete ways. Through work, yes, but also through your blog. Get better in your own time.
