Depression Screening Day
NYU's Health Department is holding a Depression Screening Day. I'm going into the city early tomorrow to see if I meet the requirements to be officially labeled "seasonally fucked up." I don't know whether I want to find out I am or am not depressed - if I am, it's bad, but if I'm not, then I've got other problems.
I was having trouble focusing in class today. I don't know why ... I just was. I couldn't keep a clear thought running through my head all day. Then one came and I couldn't get it out of my head for the rest of class:
Nothing splendid was ever achieved except by those who dared believe that something inside them was superior to the circumstance.
Julee used to quote that saying all the time. I don't know why I thought of it.

you thought of that because you know that something inside of you is Superior to circumstance, we all see it and you can to. And here is the silver lining in your cloud if you are depressed at least they'll know and you can correct your chemical imbalances or get a therapist. Until then you have me as official counsel, no PHD but I'm cheap.-Dan
i understand your reservations. I spent years avoiding diagnosis because i was afraid it would confirm all my worst fears about myself. Finally at 20, i went to a therapist, and my conditon was confirmed. I don't regret it. If you ever need another person to talk to about this...let me know.
