Depression and the writer
Mar. 5th, 2009 04:11 pmReading this was gut-wrenching. He was vastly smarter than me, and more gifted. He was also much sicker. On the other hand, I wonder if I survived and he didn't just because I just gave up more easily.
It makes me feel like a coward, but why? I'm the one who's alive. Doesn't that count for something? To disapprove of that is sick in its own way.
I don't like myself very much after reading this.
God, I thought I was fucking over this.*
*Letting the wrriters block win in the end, I mean.
Shit, why am I crying?
Edited to add: I'm all right everybody, don't worry. It's just that it totally took me by surprise.
