Uh, your entertaining link is actually a repeat of the link to dysthymia...

(Which, yeah. Sounds a lot like me, too. Except that I laugh at their two years, because I have felt this way all through my adolescence and my entire adult life. I never thought of it as a disease, though: just an attitude, a mindset, a personality trait. A gloomy outlook on a gloomy world. I learned to deal, and so far I've always found a reason not to jump off that bridge. Sometimes people urge me towards treatment, but I resist: I'd hate talking therapy, and better living through chemistry may lift the spirits but I worry what it might do to the work. The person I am makes the books that I write, and I think they're worth the writing, so.)
