Lewis: to know that I am not alone....Opasnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12536734001341458637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-663998076511109850.post-67502801043087384812009-08-07T05:44:57.778-07:002009-08-07T05:44:57.778-07:00Thanks Bill. If I had ever comported myself like a...Thanks Bill. If I had ever comported myself like a Southern Lady I wouldn't be telling the Internet about my life. I actually do have limits and boundaries with writing and personal life. For some things those boundaries are bigger than most people's; for other, they might be more restricted. My general rule is that I won't write anything that would be awkward for my kids to read (later on--they're pretty young now). I write the stuff I do because I read autobiographies of people like Tennessee Williams who made me laugh and feel better about myself, with their honesty and ability not to take themselves overly seriously.Nathaliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01122474375041638360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-663998076511109850.post-61725824418695752412009-08-05T19:47:30.770-07:002009-08-05T19:47:30.770-07:00I'm in awe of the courage it takes to open you...I'm in awe of the courage it takes to open yourself up on the internet the way you and Marc continually do. You two are definitely some of the coolest people going. <br /><br />I'm glad that you're feeling better and evolving to a new place in your life. It takes a lot of family/friend support and inner resolve.<br /><br />Ironically, when I had my own depressions going at earlier stages of my life, I'd wind up listening to Morrissey songs. Can't explain that one.<br /><br />Btw, great taste in music. I caught The Sundays when the band I roadied for in college opened for them in Providence. Harriet Wheeler had a gift of making an evening seem ethereal with her voice.Bill Pynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12540701365860271621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-663998076511109850.post-81565070522592159612009-07-27T19:24:36.194-07:002009-07-27T19:24:36.194-07:00Hello David, thanks for the blog links and the son...Hello David, thanks for the blog links and the song titles. I recognize some of them and look forward to checking out some of the others. I agree with you about the soothing effects of water.

It is so often misunderstood and trivialized by people with misconceptions of its symptoms and impact. You sound like you've at least gotten a grasp on it, though - recognizing the habits, etc. I'm happy for you. Myself I have people leaving me because they don't want to bother themselves with helping me deal with it. I also like how you referenced the Sunday's music in your posting. I used to listen to them a lot in college. Here's a couple of my blog postings, if you're interested. The first has a little to do with my dealings with depression, and the second is a list of songs (with links to youtube videos) which I often find myself listening to. You might like some of them youself. Warm regards, David.<br />http://errantepiphany.blogspot.com/2009/06/water.html<br />http://errantepiphany.blogspot.com/2009/07/50-songs-for-sadness.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
