I guess this is kind of a coming out post. Im in therapy. Thats hardly as big a deal for me to say now as it might have been in the past, but its still not the kind of thing I ever thought I would trumpet. And its not nearly as strange to hear in public as it was when I was growing up. But its still a thing. Im saying it now not because I want any kind of congratulations or well-wishing. No interest in that, in fact the thought of that is kind of repellant. Im speaking up because, by going to therapy, Ive begun to realize that an aspect of my life, one which I previously thought was fundamental, inherent, the price of admission, is, in fact, no such thing. Depression isnt sadness. Like the man in this video explains, depression shares aspects with sadness, but the two things are not the same. I would really recommend that everyone watch this talk. It might help you recognize a problem you didnt even realize you had. And that, in turn, might help you get rid of a problem youve been carrying for so long, you thought it was just part of how life is. It isnt. It doesnt need to be. Just watch. Youll know if it rings a bell. And then youll be able to start.
