I think i am starting to win my battle against depression. Today has marked a major milestone for me.

All my life (i am now 34) i have been a huge reader. I have always had a book on the go, and have never gone a day without reading. It has been my life, and saved my life many a time by keeping me sane and helping me to escape.

Anyway, about 18 months ago i realised i wasnt reading. Not only was i not reading, but i hadnt been reading for a while. In 18 months i have tried (and failed) to pick up a book and just read, but i have been unable to focus or concentrate on a book. I know this happens to be because of my depression.

Today i read again A whole 4 chapters. And enjoyed it, and it was easy to focus.

Sorry, i know this sounds silly to some people, but i hope someone understands why this is such a big deal to me?
