The second day of a diet is always easier than the first. By the second day you're off it.
I have had issues with depression all my life, and it's probably true to say there was a tendency towards it even when I was very young, during my schooldays. There was often - and this is quite common with comics - a sense of not feeling as if I belonged anywhere.
To me an unnecessary action, or shot, or casualty, was not only waste but sin.
