when i first stumbled across your blog, i confess my first thought was: "great, yet another creative, successful, productive person, complaining about their depression." that reaction is telling; more about me than you, i'm afraid. i've had low-grade depression for as long as i can remember. i feel the depression prevents me from committing to anything, including its own treatment. so when i see a person with depression who is committed and following through, the knee jerks: suspicion, jealousy and hopelessness.
but you get through, and that in itself is a feat.
nathalie, it is such an IMPORTANT thing you are doing here. your writing is smart, sincere, courageous and sensitive. the post on memory (april 21) & nostalgia was particularly compelling. i had all but given up on memory and its upkeep. but when you write, i take notes.
thank you for *another*. it is brilliant. thank you thank you thank you.
I just got diagnosed with ADD and I've been off and on anti-depressants for a while. Here is a wonderful site about ADD that I found recently that I think offers a fairly thorough online examination (thoroughness being relative in this case-in comparision to other online exams).
