God, I really hope that Grim makes it through. He's too awesome sounding of a cat to die so young. I mean, come on, doped up Grim is like prime hilarity right there. It is too bad you can't just film him doing all these weird things (especially to Nero--what the fuck? XD), since you have, you know, a life and all that.
Also, I think it's rather terrible that all this came on the heels of feeling incredibly stressed from work. I hope that you aren't feeling overwhelmed or pressured.
I've struggle with depression for most of my life, going back as far as 7-years-old at least. For the most part, it hasn't been crippling, or even pervasive enough for anyone to call me a "depressive person" even if they know me well, but I'm succeptible to moods of feeling down more than others, that is for sure. I can do a really good mope, and it kills motivation big time. But, I think it helps (sort of) that I don't get depressed for "no" reason--there's always reasons (multiple) that contribute, and sometimes that's better, because a monster you know is easier to fight. It's just hard to fight that particular beast when your mired down in its poison.
I've never felt that talking to someone would help me much (almost ironic, considering my proposed career as a psychologist), but it's mostly because I feel that the person I really need to talk to is myself. I'm the one who knows what is really wrong, and I need to hash it out with me. I just feel like most people have no idea how to talk to themselves properly, or ask the right questions, which is where a counselor really helps. And I'd consider seeing one, even if it's just once every other week. Just learning how to talk about what's bothering you can be really effective in other areas of your life--like how to express yourself to your parents, peers, superiors, etc.
ALSO. Equally importnat: Pictures of costumes?! =D
