One of the things I have most admired about Mudcat is that whenever we have had threads abour depression, people have respected one another so deeply. Creative types often run to emotional volatility of all sorts, and so when we talk about this I see us at some of our best. No stones thrown, no "poor-you" stuff, just understanding that I think carries over into the other threads as well, once people have been so open. And we really seem to expect one another to carry on... to keep the music going no matter what hurts. We value the effort to keep going, above many other values in this place.
