On Looking Well

[faustus]

One thing that struck me after I bounced off the bottom in March/April 2004 was how many people told me I looked well. I certainly didn't feel well, and yes, there are occasions when the egoboo is what the doctor ordered.

There has only been one occasion - and that was back in exam season last year - when people told me I looked like shit and I should go home, retire to bed, do not pass go. I wish someone had rang alarm bells before Easter 2004, although perhaps I would not have heard them or believed them at the time.

If you need to talk... I'm usually up (too) late (which since I have the early waking that is symptom of my mostly relatively mild depression is not good).

Thanks for the offer, but I think this is a battle I mostly need to fight for myself. I need to find my own perspective.

Actually, I'm not sure I have contact details for you that are up to date anyway...
