I have been perusing this forum for some time, and still cannot make my way fluidly inwards - obviously not Tech, but probably more my own 'algorythmic' yet decentric dances with own depression. Do others try to write - any sorts of ways?

I write loads. Some of it on here, lots not. I find it really therapeutic. I write loads and show it to my therapist x

Creative writing - though haven't managed much of that laterly - retelling myths and legends in modern context.

When depressed tend to get a bit 'monsyllabic' and write poetry as it fits better with that - doesn't need to convey meaning in the same way.

Have done a few blogs on her but not last month.

Have you tried poetry at all?

I wrote an autobiography which was helpful for the depression. Started now and then went backwards, gradually thinking about what had led to each situation and just putting bits down, then filling in more memories and gaps, that you helpful as I could see all sorts of patterns I hadn't realised before.

I'm not sure you can force writing posts on here or approach it in any way. I've been writing just whenever I have something I feel I want to share...outside here I write songs on my guitar, and short stories. A lot of them (in fact most) aren't necessarily about how I feel, but something about the creative process makes me feel better.
