Programming and Madness, a letter written to an online programming website. This was the first time I revealed my illness publicly to my profession. It got quite a good response. While I can look back at my drawing books and the bookshelves full of software that I have written, my own experience of my life is that it usually going at an interminable crawl. When I get depressed, I get bored.
Nothing is fun.
I would enjoy doing. Nothing ever seems to be happening. I struggle to keep myself occupied. Then from time to time I look back and see all the things I have done and am quite surprised. There is a difference, though, between feeling creative and actually being creative.
