For what has now been quite a while I've been relatively absent around here.  I peek in, post here and there, and may pop up on a podcast, but I know my presence has waned.

I've not been in the best mental condition for the last good while, and have pretty much been worn completely out all day every day.  My contributions here have been from the constructive angle, and that's the way I want it to be, but I haven't had the energy to do anything like that, so there's been less of me.

I have been able to manage playing plenty of StarCraft 2, and that's where I've dedicated my spare time, I suppose something as a vent.  It's also become something that has brought friends together and closer, which I've been focusing on for quite a while.

This place will always be vitally important to me, so I am always nearby.  Perhaps listening, of late, rather than speaking.

Oh what is that, the nagging mode?

So you can spell "nagging" correctly, but not "silent"? You are full of surprises. I only wish some of them were pleasant.

To those of you who are dealing with this. I've made it through. It wasn't easy, it wasn't quick and hardly anything I did made a difference. But just know it's possible to get through it.

Change is the first step, however small.

EDIT: To elaborate just a bit. Depression comes from either two sources: Chemical or Environmental.  Everyone usually assumes chemical, because it requires the least change and makes you feel like there is nothing you can do to change your circumstances.  There are drugs for that.  Sometimes they work, most times they do.  The reality is few people are actually chemically depressed.  If you are prescibed drugs,  keep taking them even when you feel better, because you aren't. It's the drugs.

Most depressed people are because of their environment. Interfering family. Lousy job. No girlfriend. Lousy apartment. Lousy car. It goes on and on.  If you decide you want to change, you can usually overcome your depression.  Change one of these things, the others will come.

The upside is that if your depression is environmental, it is because you are a thoughtful person (you over think everything).  That means you are smart.  Smart enough not to let environmental factors depress you.  Dumb people are happier than you -- you can work this out.  Just make a change, how ever small, and move from there.
