Well, I didn't wanna worry anybody, but I have been in a pretty bad way the last couple of days in terms of depression.

It got bad enough that I seriously considered going to the hospital and spending my two weeks off from work as a patient, if I could arrange it, or at the very least get them to prescribe for me an anti-depressant.

But, partway though my shift last night, it was like a fog lifted, and the darkness retreated, leaving me feeling actually like smiling and laughing again, and all the nasty stuff the voice in my head had been telling me suddenly felt untrue.

To all those who have put up with me whining the last while, bless you ...
