I've been running a kind of audit in my mind, and trying to recognise how sqewed my thinking can get. The problem being, of course, that at the time it seems perfectly rational. I know that this is the aspect that worries Mr Manley the most when he notices I'm sliding in to depression - the cold calm but ultimately flawed logic that he and the kids would be better off without me. Sometimes I can barely speak, other times I can articulate the thought process that proves, beyond any doubt, just how useless I am. When I'm well I can see it, but I seem to lose all insight as soon as I begin to sink.
But at the moment I'm in the same world as the rest of you (well, most of you) and I'm trying to find a way to stay here.
