As the title says, this is a post within a post. A few days
ago, I was so depressed that though I was holding out for a better blog topic I
felt a sudden need to document my depression with a blog post. I did promise
whoever was reading (or even just me) that I would be brutally honest about how
I went about my life, and unfortunately, depression is a big part of it. I
never got around to finishing or publishing the post -- but I am posting the
body of it today. I wanted to post it in this context and not as a separate
post because I do not want my depression to define me. But I am posting it
because if there are other people out there who get depressed as I do -- I want
them to know that they are not alone. I don't really have any answers; all I
have to offer is the somewhat comforting thought that someone out there is
feeling as you are.

I was supposed to have a happy
Christmas-type post, but alas, it is now that I am depressed that I find myself
with lots of time to write. Or maybe, it is this feeling of being depressed
that I need to make sense of. I think in my later life, there are more times
when I am depressed than when I am not. I suppose it all boils down to liking
the person I am becoming. I can't seem to.
