There is some kind of magic in those two words especially when it comes in the form of a message from someone who has taken the time to send you an email expressing gratitude at something you have written.
Recently I have felt like I have lost focus when it comes to my writing be it this blog or the forgotten novel, I don’t seem to interact with people as much lately either.
Anyway yesterday I received a lovely email from someone saying thank you for my honesty in dealing with my depression and it really means a lot to me that people do contact me about this blog. It really does inspire me knowing that someone can relate to what I write about even if that writing has been kinda crappy the past month or so.
Hopefully I can start speaking to more people again because moose gets lonely but I don’t always feel like reaching out to others so those of you who contact me when you notice I am quiet I thank you.
Thank God for Teresa, Roger, Liz, Helen and Cindy for keeping me sane this week!
You inspire so many, but not everyone leaves a message.
Stay strong man and if there’s anything I can do, just let me know.

I’m familiar with that. But then it’s a good time to reach out and share what you feel, so people can tell you that what your depression is telling is anything but true.

Stay strong my friend. We all have our lulls – I too have been in a slump for weeks. Neglecting my blog, my writing. Managing the expectations we put on ourself is a large part of coping with depression.

I think our Moose is too hard on himself sometimes. You have always been there for others, you have been there for me. Depression is a wicked mistress/master, and it tells us blatant lies. Believe us real people, you are good, strong and loved, and even when we are quiet, we ‘travel’ together somewhere in the ether. xxxx
