JUNE 06, 2007

The good news is that I've been back on my anti-depressant for two weeks - albeit only at half dosage because I'm still adjusting to the initial side effects it causes - and I'm feeling a lot better. Still inexplicably cranky as hell sometimes but, for the most part, doing much better. Even downright happy sometimes.

And the bad news? For some strange reason the marked improvement in my depression has coincided with an epic case of writer's block, which makes no sense whatsoever. Depression contributes to or causes writer's block so an improvement in depression should mean it's easier to write, not harder, yet the writing part of my brain has flatlined lately. I've even found myself thinking that I hate writing and maybe I don't want to do it anymore, but I know that's just frustration talking and it will eventually pass.

Still, I really wish I knew what was up with this writer's block. This certainly isn't the first time I've ever encountered it, but this is one of the most sudden and severe cases I've had in ages. Maybe it's just one of those things. Maybe it will up and leave as suddenly as it came. Or maybe I need to stop giving in to it and force myself to write (like I'm doing now).

In an effort to help, Ross pointed out that every entry doesn't have to be long, that I can post short entries or even just links or photos. So maybe I'll start doing that in an attempt to dislodge whatever it is that's blocking my brain.

Eh. Have I ever mentioned that I hate being crazy?

Can I haz sanity, pliz?
