The fear of writing about our past depression states.



"It is difficult to write about a period of profound, virtually clinical depression, because when you are in that state, everything is observed through a dark glass which not only shadows but distorts all that is seen. It's also hazardous to write about it, since the germ of it still lingers in your system and it could be activated again by thinking back on it."

"Tennessee Williams: Memoirs" Chapter 9 page 202
