YOU'RE BACK TO BLOGGING! YAAAY! Great post. I have prolific crushes on the Celebrity Class; I fear this will always be the case. The other night I watched The American President on telly and allowed myself a small perv on Michael Douglas. Sigh. I know. Look, it's only in this movie and because Aaron Sorkin wrote him to be so awesome. The other one that tends to creep people out is a long-term Jeff Goldblum crush. He looks filthy . ;-)

This is hilarious…I have exactly the same crush on Slash and have done for years (only without the leoprad bodystocking) and everyone looks at me like I’ve got more heads than normal. I feel vindicated…

Somehow Facebook stumbling I got to this page… oh, you so could be me. I never got blogs before! But what you are describing is so accurate. That leaden soul into the glorious sunshine… such a familiar feeling. You’ve brightened my day just by expressing reality so wonderfully. Thank you so much darling. Love this font by the way.

Thank you for this post. Life is not always fluffy clouds and sugar cubes. Depression gets cast as being so damn artistic (and while, granted, it does land us on the couch, writing, collaging, search for life on the planet…), people don’t understand that the darkness beneath an artists skin seperates them from so much of life’s beauty. Know that we are all treding these streets together…threading between eachother, creating lace.

I think you’re being incredibly smart right now. You’re admitting you feel bad and taking ownership of your depression instead of taking it out on yourself or other people (although Job Centre lady sounds like she could do a with a dose to shut her up) and you’re not taking on more than you can handle.

I had to go to tonnes of therapy to learn do those things and start getting better. You’re several steps further ahead already. If your anxiety is an issue at the mo, contact Anxiety UK and see if you can get a cheap therapist through them. It’s about £20 to join up and about £5 to see a therapist each week, which might be more than you can afford, but compared to waiting on the NHS, it’s well worth it!

Good luck!

there was a time when i chased down unhappiness. after all, which of my idols had not experienced some devastation and created something beautiful from the ruins of their depression? soon it became me, and i became it: now, i wouldn’t have it any other way.

to me, the possibility of creating something beautiful (and the euphoria that comes with succeeding) is far better than living in a constant state of happiness. like a seed in the dark, i enjoy my perennial happiness.

p.s. thank you for using my photograph x

I love this post! And it’s good to hear that people (other than myself) feel like that too. Thanks.

Ah, this brings back Prozac fueled memories of my miserable years… In my experience, depression never goes away completely. Just gets easier to cope with when you get your life sorted out and don’t have to worry about your future so much anymore.
