(((((((((((everyone))))))))))))

Thanks for all your hugs, they're always so nice to have when I'm feeling so horrid.

I'm doing a bit better today, turquoisesea, thanks for asking! I have done absolutely nothing since yesterday afternoon when I crashed and basically slept the rest of my day away, on and off. I'm slowly starting to wake up again, I think. I was talking to my counsellor the other day and I mentioned to her that it's kind of sick, but I actually like this part of my depression, the day between feeling completely depressed and completely well. It's when I'm at my most contemplative and creative. All of the thought and emotion that the depression brings with it fuels a lot of my writing, but when I'm actually feeling low I can't bring myself to write anything down. On the in-between day, though, I'm still aware of that feeling without being overwhelmed by it, and I have just enough energy to escape it. I can write when I'm feeling well, too, but I get most of my ideas from this in-between period. So today I'm not 100%, but I'm feeling inspired, so I'm going to look at that as a good thing.
