mind the gap

16 August 2006

Dooce is known in the blogsphere. She's funny, she's irreverent. She's damn lucky to have a gorgeous kid and a husband who loves her. She also suffers from depression.

She wrote...
I look back at what I wrote during that period of my life and am surprised that I was able to write a single coherent sentence. I don't remember being
lucid enough to type out a word....I kept a somewhat detailed journal about my
experiences during that depressive episode, and when I read it now I realize
that I was trying to appear as the most reasonable insane person I could
possibly be. If I was going to be insane, I would do it as perfectly and neatly
as I could.


One day I'll be able to understand my breakdown. For now, I hide it away.
