[Serious] Depression

[Magus]

Kvothe, you and Link have basically described what's been going on in my life, heh.

So, I don't know that that helps you, but at least it shows we're not all battling this bullshit alone.

Things have been very bad for me lately, which is why I haven't really been motivated to write much (honestly starting up again helped a lot at first and now I've gone down again).

I think Greg is right about that 'having an obsession' thing. I just realized I pretty much always had one my whole life until the last few years, when things have been the worst. Now... that doesn't really help since I don't know what to do about it, but, it might help in that at least I understand the problem now.

I dunno what to do for you, man, but I'd advise against medication if they try to prescribe you citalopram, or at least be really careful considering it. I was pretty miserable when I started taking it, and full-blown suicidal afterward. It was not an improvement.

I haven't felt like taking my own life in a really long time, but I feel like I might be swinging back that way, and for that I've gotta go do... something.
