Scott Lynch posted a wonderful essay on depression. Go read it.

Really, did you read it? No? Go! It’ll even open in a new tab, so you don’t have to be bothered with that meddlesome “Back” button.

First, I’m always glad when someone else writes about depression. The more people who are open about their mental health problems, the less we have to feel like freaks and failures.

Second, you’ve possibly noted that I’ve been rather quiet recently. A lot has happened in the past year or so, and it’s been gnawing at my mind and taking my energy and using it for things like, Bejeweled and Solitaire rather than anything useful.

Which leads me to the question I’ve been dealing with, which is, is this grief or depression?

The answer is, I honestly don’t know, but I think I’m going to give it some time before I decide one way or another. But in the meantime, I probably will continue to be scarce around here. I’ll try to keep up with the Wednesday Word Association and the Thursday Photo Scavenger Hunt, because I like people to stop by and say hi.

But as for anything else? I’m thinking maybe I’ll take a bit of a break for the summer. So if I’m not around much–sorry. But please stick around for Wednesday Word Association!
