The Veil
Each day, I become more aware of how thinly the veil of normal functioning behavior is. How very easy it is for me to imagine taking off the veil and throwing up my hands.
What's underneath? Pain. Why can't people see it? I don't want them to.
These are musings. They don't consitute real depression, but I do skirt the edge now.

this is a world in which we are more and more compartmentalized--and our emotions do get cast aside. i hope you find and and create a space in which your emotions and pain will feel safe enough to come out to play. sometimes that space is not very comfortable, but it should exist.
this blog, for instance, is a start. i'm sorry you're in pain--i know you are a strong person and you will ride it through.
Thanks for this nice thought and the many others you have expressed!
I think that the line between being depressed and just down is starting to become indistinct. Not good.
