That is a great idead for a post! It is true what you say, I believe that through others we know ourselves better. I never knew how to use the word "depression", because I never knew if what I feel is in fact the same others feel as depression, or at what kind of intensity and duration a depressive mood can be labled depression. In fact I allways neglected what I feel, and lived with this "mood" as a natural part of myself. But it was more or less a year ago that these feeling increased and made me consider I have something with the shape of depression. Or at least inner dificulties I need to pay attention to and learn to deal with. I started noticing them for the first time not as something natural in myself, but as needles in my soul that I need to deal with.
I'll be waiting for the new post from this side of the monitor (but like you said "I like it when things take their time", so no pressure, and only if someday you feel like writing about it mate) :)
