Flip Side – Part Two

depression

I don’t talk about it. I try not to think about it. I’ve spent years perfecting the art of hiding it . . . even from myself. During the “happy” times, it lurks like a specter. During “dark” times, it obscures everything else. I never look it in the eye! I only write about it in code . . .

64 65 70 72 65 73 73 69 6f 6e

100 101 112 114 101 115 115 105 111 110

-.. . .–. .-. . … … .. — -.

I’m fine.

Oh WOW, I must admit to being curious about your code, which I hope is something like coordinates, maybe to a place where you’ll feel more comfortable getting to the crux of whatever it is that’s too numerical to express any other way. Highest and Best!

It is simply part of being bipolar. Even though I intellectually understand there is an up for every down, it still “feels” like the down is forever. I struggle to express anything about how it feels . . . therefore, the code is simply for depression, including the statement . . . I’m fine. Something depression sufferers (I believe) share with one another.

I’m lucky to be in the best of all possible places to deal with this. I have a wonderful life and partner. I know this, but in the down times, it’s hard to focus on just how great everything really is. I am better equipped to deal than in the past since now I recognize the ups and downs more easily than I used to.

Thanks for your concern, but . . . I’m fine. 😉
