I wish I could claim credit for that beautiful headline, but no, it's straight from this article in the Guardian. Many thanks to vgnwtch for pointing out all the coolest stuff in the British newspapers.

Re: why is everything so difficult?

Sounds like garden variety depression to me. Depression is worth taking seriously, but there are things you can do about it, daunting as some of those can be. Getting old does not have to entail depression. (One of my writing students right now is a sociology major who's studying gerontology, so I have now read up on gerontology to the point where I can say that with total confidence.)

Oh, and grad school is widely known to exacerbate or cause depression, so you've got a double whammy going there.

I've got various Samhain obligations this weekend, and I'm doing writer stuff with David and Rachel tomorrow (And thank you again for the gift of their friendship!), so we might need to play a round or two of phone tag, but if you'd like to pick my brain about ways to beat back the depression, please do. I've had to fight the noonday demon a time or several, and there are things that work.
