Ahhhh, I have been silent a long time, but silence does not preclude care and observation. Living a lot of depression via my OCD brother and myself and your words are beautiful to the eyes and even more the head. They helped and help……..thank you! Ray’s muscles may bulk at the just the look of a barbell, but your mind bulks just by your existence.

I hear you. My annual SAD seems just a bit worse than normal this year. We should both take heart that spring really is coming.

Could I have a brief word with your little voice?

Hey little voice. When you say “You’ll always look the same. Always,” you say it like it’s a bad thing. Cobban is unquestionably a hottie, so just STFU, ‘K?

SHAZAM!

Good for you, for recognizing it and writing it out (no pun intended).

Even the seemingly most-put-together folk get depressed. Thanks you for sharing this, Cobban. Not only is it good for you, It’s good for the rest of us. Helps others recognize and fell less-alone as well.

You never cease to amaze and inspire me.

PS. How about a good laugh (or at least a giggle)? I can always count on reCAPTCHA™ for that. Before I submit this comment, I’ll need to type “it dwarves.” On another friends blog yesterday, I was asked to type “yummier ballistic.” Someone at reCAPTCHA™ is truly twisted.

Snork!

As you say, recognizing the signs and the reasons why – that’s the first step. Just keep reminding yourself – Ray chased YOU. YOU are a catch in your own right. You’re talented, you’re nice – what’s not to like?

Of course it’s never that easy in real life but hang in there… spring is coming and so is gorgeous weather.
