Hi Dezdemona!
I had dysthmia (or however u spell it!) for 7 years, with three episodes of major depression on top...i'm in recovery atm and will be ending my therapy in the next month or so, but still staying on the meds til at least the end of this year. Yeah i have often thought about writing about it too. I've always wanted to write a sort-of memoir-come-fiction book based on my experiences...there is just so much i want to say though, it's in my head but i don't know how to put it!
