The Old Weasle has been in survival mode for a few weeks now. I'm fine and coping but as part of that coping I am also going to write about it. You know, that old old chestnut "Me and My Depression". Just so's I can get a handle on it and maybe share a few humourous anecdotes because even a depressive cannot take life too seriously...(laugh it's meant to be funny!)
I feel a little scared about dedicating a whole blog to depression and my life with it. But perhaps with your indulgence and hopefully curiosity a few may get a better understanding of what depression can be like from one who knows and a few others will note that perhaps they aren't as odd as they think they are!
I will warn I have no intention of holding back in it, at times it will be graphic, obnoxious and hopefully wil also make you laugh - for laughter really is the best medicine!
So here it is pop a long to Cage without A Key

Sending lots of love your way....

I was only thinking about you earlier today, and that we hadn't heard anything from you recently. Keep on blogging! After all, that's one of the purposes of a blog isn't it, to get things off your chest. Hope things get better for you soon.
Blackbird - Thnak you. I hope I won't find it too daunting...cross fingers!
Mud - so looking forward to cathcing up tonight. I will get myself a big glass of wine and indulge!
Jude - Exactly! And things are definitley gettng better: the sunshine helps!
Haven't you noticed how many bloggers struggle with depression. I think it is because you all have a gift of reaching deep inside and expressing what you find there. I really think it is a gift, but one you pay a huge price for... I'm routing for you.
Veryanniemary - there do seem a lot of us don't there; but when you consider that 1:4 of us at sometime in our lives have a bout of depression maybe it's not so surprising. I like your idea that its because we have a gift! Thank you so much.
