Umami Tsunami: yes

yes

it's supposed to be ugly.

there's nothing worse than seeing your website all pretty and cheery when you are feeling like you want to throw yourself into a smelly marsh. or maybe, like you just have.

but soon. soon it will all become ordered and aesthetically pleasing again.

and i shall take a shower and start dressing in clothes other than sweatpants. yes!

cool, you spell it "aesthetically" instead of "esthetically". (me too).

Thanks for your honesty over the last few weeks Jane. I'm routing for you and I hope the grey clouds part for you soon.

last winter, i had a few terrible weeks where i couldn't even motivate to get out of bed. i can completely relate to what you're feeling - the thing about depression is it's a distorting disease, and can feel like things will never be any different - remember that's not the case, as i look back on those weeks and can't remember the deep darkness that i was in. exercise helps a LOT; eating well helps - eating comfort food like fruit smoothies, eggs, good cheese helped me as well. take good care of yourself; make sure you're seeing the people you love. treat yourself to a massage or a great haircut; something to make yourself feel good. time heals all, but it really makes it easier when you're focusing on tactile pleasures and physical health - it reinforces the mental and emotional strengthening process you're going through.

Very expressive use of syle sheets.

I have been using St.John's Wort and Phosphatidylserine to battle the depresstion from overcast skies in Seattle and working at Microsoft. They mix well with double americanos and zen meditation.

Hey...
How are you doing? You getting there?
You are probably sick of people saying "try this! try that!" and "I was depressed when my cat died" etc... But just remember, you do have people who care about you. See, I am a diagnised manic depressive (bi polar type 2) and have been dealing with it for... well, fuck that, you don't need to hear my whine. All I can say is, you DO have people that care about YOU. You'll get there. Trust me.
