I think what you're going through now Selena, is normal. Everybody goes through that stage one way or another. Writer or not. With me, i'm more of going through existentialism angst for the past 4 years. But i'd rather keep that bottled inside myself than flaunt it around. Unless somebody starts a conversation with me about it. As for the "writer" thing, I couldn't really comment on it because many writers could write about being neurotic and such without experiencing it at the same time. They just narrate their past experiences (take note on "past")--that's why it's in narrative form.

I say, it's better to be depressed than repressed.

Lighten up dude.
