Life in the Dark

Probably most of it will be negative bitching and moaning, for that is the nature of the beast I live with, some of it will be just plain stupidity, because that is a (not as often as it used to be) part of me, (oh yeah, I have a bit of a thing for parenthesis as well).
I'll try to write here when I'm in an up phase, not just when things get me down, but no promises.

Ok, you say, it's your blog (yes this is a blog, (web-log) however, a diary, (in book form) is not a blog, at best it could be called a log. Pet peeve.) you can write whatever you want, but why?

Good question, several answers, a few friends (I'm sure we'll cover that at some point) have suggested this to me many times, I'm actually registered at another blog site, very community minded, great site, scares the crap out of me. I think I have one post/blog I know a lot of the people there from a bulletin board I frequent (live at). I've never really been able to make the leap from board to blog.

I have depression, I have anxiety and I probably have a few other things too, but these things put thoughts in your head and sometimes they just go around and around so it helps to have somewhere to offload them.
Actually it helps immensely, I'm not sure if it works for everyone that way or if it is something I have taught myself, but it beats having some thoughts running around in there for months and months (we'll get to the ones that have been there for years later).

I want to try and explain, educate and elucidate on the disease of depression and it's companion disorders from the perspective of one who lives with it all day everyday.

NO, you can't just get over it.
