I've been feeling well for a while now, quite good in fact. From a distance, things look so different..

Just came across a wonderful column by Dick Cavett on his personal journey with depression. Recommended reading - both insightful and witty.

Best quote:

[...] once at Oxford a languid Brit part-time professor (and full-time fop) was cooing to me at an academic cocktail party about what he called " this depression business."

"Depression," he announced, "is for sniveling little neurotics."

"How, then," I asked, "have you escaped it?"

I have no memory of what happened next.
