Is “Happy Holidays” a Promise or a Threat?

If you ever feel a little blue this time of year, you really need to read Megan Seling’s devastatingly awesome essay on depression in The Stranger. In fact, you ought to read it regardless, although I wouldn’t recommend reading it while sitting alone in a restaurant having dinner on a Friday night. It made me want to write about depression, but I couldn’t do it justice after Seling’s piece. Anyway, check it out. And if you find yourself feeling down this winter, feel free to send an email, and we’ll chat. (Because then they’ll know what depression really is? — ed. You’re not helping.)
