The Withdrawing Room

I feel really sad right now. I remind myself that my depression is chemical, rather than causal, that my life really isn't this sad and sorry tragedy that it seems to be at the moment... nevertheless, I feel this overpowering urge to withdraw from life, particularly from the people in my life; and unfortunately, right now, "the people in my life" includes you, my gentle reader.

All week I've had the urge to not write, which is different from the lack of desire or energy to write... it is an actively negative urge. I am too tired to write, and too busy, and I don't have much of pith and moment to say; but the fact of the matter is that I want the silence. I want to be quiet, I want to refrain from reading and writing for a little while.

So if you will kindly bear with me until this particular urge passes, I will be back anon. Love you!
