Introvert – my comfortable world is a desk chair.

Jayne!
Depression sucks, as a fellow sufferer I can certainly relate. Why is it almost every writer I know is either depressed or some kind of addict?
Anyhow, hopefully things will look up for both of us so take care of yourself, okay?
Hey John! There are good days, bad days, and indifferent days. But it is interesting that so many creative people suffer from depression.
Hopping over from Sunday Stealing!
Welcome to Sunday Stealing! A great group of bloggers do this meme every Sunday. Depression is a tough one. My best friend has had a life of terrible bouts with it. So my thoughts are with you and I’ll be wishing you some peace. Have a good week…
Thanks, Bud!
