One of the worst things about me is that I when I most need energy and optimism, I don't have it. When things aren't going well, I tend to get depressed and, for me, depression manifests itself in "hide under the covers" syndrome allied to "acute telephone phobia syndrome". Both of these in turn cause me to procrastinate. So, at times like the present, when I desperately need to be working my contacts to drum up some business or a job, I can't. The physical effort needed to pick up the phone and call someone is just overwhelming.

This probably just sounds silly to anyone who doesn't suffer from depression but for me it's been part of my life for over ten years and I hate it.
