My name is Wil Wheaton. I live with chronic Depression, and I am not ashamed.

The depressed creative – formerly known as the depressed artist – is a common cliche.  The truth, however, is that depression is pervasive throughout modern society, irrespective of talent, interests, and/or lack of same.

Wil Wheaton’s written something quite wonderful in its way, and inasmuch as he has put it out there to be shared, we’ve decided to bring his experience to our corner of the interweb, hoping that it will carry with it the understanding and hope that so many of us need.

Thanks, Wil! read article
