Writing and Depression

Which way does the wind flow?

The urge to write most frequently overtakes me when I am in one of two states.

1. When I am bored on my computer and am somehow reminded of the fact my fingers can retch words onto a page.
2. When I am depressed, seeking to express my sadness in words.

When I am happy, I simply want to enjoy the world as it is. Perhaps endorphins are not conducive to introspection?

This likely means that my words describe my life more negatively than it deserves. Possible remedies include reminding myself to write whilst happy or following a regular writing schedule. The former is inconsistent, the latter likely to be ignored.

I’m quite good at ignoring my responsibilities. In fact, I’m going to ignore this post now and go to sleep.
