The Depressed Reader: Another Dawn
http://thedepressedreader.blogspot.com/2011/07/another-dawn.html
Fighting depression daily, blogging weekly. Sunday, July 3, 2011. A year ago I thought this was a sight I would never see again, that I had seen my last Fuji sunrise. But it was not. I managed to get my depression and anxiety somewhat under control, and so didn't leave Japan. Fuji is still here, and so am I. I'm tempted to go over all the things, mostly about myself, that I am unhappy with. But after reading a superb post by Jen. I've decided to look on the bright side of life instead. Its that way with ...

The Depressed Reader: Japan by Night
http://thedepressedreader.blogspot.com/2011/08/japan-by-night.html
Fighting depression daily, blogging weekly. Sunday, August 14, 2011. Then after the run I get home, eat something, shower and relax. I'm watching the first season of The Tudors. And an hour of the machinations of Henry VIII and his courtiers is about enough to let the tiredness from the run and the day that has passed seep into my bones, and by the time the episode finishes I am almost tired enough to sleep.

The Depressed Reader: World War Z
http://thedepressedreader.blogspot.com/2010/09/world-war-z.html
Fighting depression daily, blogging weekly. Sunday, September 19, 2010. Zombie movies have always been something of a guilty pleasure of mine. I don’t watch them very often, but I do watch a couple each year. Most are disposable “so bad it’s good” type movies, while others are well-crafted comedies, such as Zombieland. Or Shaun of the Dead. A rare few, like Danny Boyle’s 28 Days Later. But the novel World War Z. I haven’t read The Good War, but I have read Japan at War. The plague starts in China, which ...

The Depressed Reader: Hitting a wall
http://thedepressedreader.blogspot.com/2011/07/hitting-wall.html
Fighting depression daily, blogging weekly. Monday, July 18, 2011. I haven't even been keeping up with blogging as much as I did before, in the past I put up a post as regular as clockwork every Sunday night, but the last month or so I haven't been so regular, nor so motivated to write anything. July 19, 2011 at 3:24 PM. Anyway, hope you get back to yourself soon. Not sure theres anything I can do to help, but if you need a friendly ear Id be happy to oblige. Hang in there!

The Depressed Reader: January 2011
http://thedepressedreader.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Fighting depression daily, blogging weekly. Sunday, January 30, 2011. A Prayer In the Night. Life had taken its twists and turns and I had found myself in Tokyo, staring at the ceiling, gripped by severe depression, incredibly alone. Longing, needing help, needing someone, anyone, to look after me. So I decided to pray. Sunday, January 23, 2011. There Is No Finish Line. I had an attempt at a post on god, life, and the meaning of the universe, but it didn't come together very well. I think I need to b...

The Depressed Reader: Sunday Night / Zombies
http://thedepressedreader.blogspot.com/2011/07/sunday-night-zombies.html
Fighting depression daily, blogging weekly. Sunday, July 24, 2011. Sunday Night / Zombies. Well, Monday morning, to be precise. But I thought I should probably try to get back into my habit of Sunday night posting. This week has been a long one, filled with confusion, weariness, and not enough sleep. But I got through it, and am ready to face the next one. A zombie anthology featuring a story by Max Brooks of World War Z. On other zombie-related topics, the movie of Brooks' WWZ. Is apparently filming now...

The Depressed Reader: August 2011
http://thedepressedreader.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
Fighting depression daily, blogging weekly. Wednesday, August 31, 2011. So long, and thanks for all the fish. It helped. Writing a weekly blog helped me to focus a little, gave me an outlet for my writing, and enabled me to vent. It let me feel that people were hearing me, and it also let me contact a lot of other bloggers going through similar issues. In no particular order, I enjoyed reading the blogs of and interacting with, in no particular order, CID. Nick, In The Pink. Try some introspection,.

The Depressed Reader: November 2010
http://thedepressedreader.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Fighting depression daily, blogging weekly. Sunday, November 28, 2010. In The Long Run. The sun gives ground to a long cold night,. And you screw up your courage for another fight,. But you know in your heart it’ll be all right in the long run. Redgum, Long Run. I’ve blogged before about the power that music has to transport us out of ourselves, if only for a few moments. For me there are many bands, artists, and types of music that can do that. One of them is definitely Redgum. I Was Only 19. And being ...

The Depressed Reader: A quiet evening
http://thedepressedreader.blogspot.com/2011/07/quiet-evening.html
Fighting depression daily, blogging weekly. Sunday, July 31, 2011. Sunday evening has rolled around again. It is almost midnight as I write this. Today has been humid and rainy, and the city is quiet, the usual calm before the week starts again tomorrow morning. I went for a short run earlier, and while it was a bit painful it was good to get out there and do it. I've been using some of my extra, unwanted waking time to read Game of Thrones. The first novel in George RR Martin's. Perhaps this is sad, tha...

The Depressed Reader: February 2011
http://thedepressedreader.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
Fighting depression daily, blogging weekly. Sunday, February 27, 2011. I ran I ran until my muscles burned and my veins pumped battery acid. Then I ran some more. Chuck Palahniuk, Fight Club. This year was better than 2007 in many ways. Firstly the weather – last time it was cold and rainy, and I ran wearing a disposable raincoat. I ran alone, and I ran fast, then ran out of energy and dragged myself the rest of the way. I ran in a cloud of depression too, as if the actual clouds and ra...Many runners wo...
