writing to recover / exposing to be known / to be helped?

Hi folks--sorry I keep putting this blog on hold, and that I must continue to do so for at least another while...

But first, an interruption.

I recently spoke with an old friend, who also happened to be an old blogger. She commented that during the times when she used to blog regularly (2-6 times/week), this person was experiencing some state of depression and she was, therefore, trying to reach out to people more. At least, this was what she seemed to say... Because now on an other side of it, she says she feels less depressed and also less inclined to put herself up on her blog. She has returned to what she called her more natural, introverted ways. I guess this makes sense to me... that this person's efforts to work through her depression may have led her to seek the affirmation that readers of her blog showed her when she needed it; now, she feels less needy. Interesting... I'm not sure I really ought to be analyzing this, but it seems thought-worthy... Of course everyone is different.

Now back to work--that means you, too.
