Hey - thanks for writing this. (I'd been meaning to comment when you first dropped, but I managed to lock myself out of substack with "bypass paywalls clean", and I only solved it today.)
I've been there, done that, bought the t-shirt and am still on medication - just wanted to drop some unasked-for reassurance that your worth as a person is not tied to your writing, and that I'll happily wait longer for articles if that means you don't write them on your last mental hitpoints. (I also enjoyed the one you posted today, so - thank you :))
Keep on keeping on! Glad to see you are back and also that you are going hiking.
I know dysthymia is a bitch (also to junior psychiatrists such as me), but you’ll figure it out. And reach out to those you trust when you can’t figure it out.
Now, please write that “joke density” piece within the foreseeable future.
