Really alarmed & surprised (I know I shouldn't be) to hear of Jeff Atwood's - apparently recent - struggles with depression & suicidal thoughts... he appears (to me, observing from afar, via podcasts, blogs) to have a robust, upbeat personality... never would guessed he'd be susceptible to any kind of unshakeable mental or emotional gloom. Scary that people can look like they have it together in every respect, when they are secretly researching their suicide. So glad Jeff was able to pull himself back from the brink.
