I had my first bout of severe depression in college. Before my depression I had a passion for writing. My college professor had tried to persuade me to pursue a PhD. He felt that my writing skills would be an asset in my chosen field. But the depression hit. It has been almost 16 years since that depression crippled my ability to write. I have yet to regain my interest in writing. I'm always correcting my grammar. I'm terrified of letting people read my writing. My writing left a lot to be desired. Has anyone felt like this after a bout of depression? It was one skill that I treasured.
