A funny thing, depression. One would not think oneself capable of it, until it strikes. And then one wonders how this world keeps continuing, how people live their lives, as if it was the easiest achievement in the world. Until it vanishes into nothingness again.

However, it was certainly not an impractical thought to move in with a medical practitioner.

Ouch. The first part really makes me feel for Holmes. :(

And then the last line is a wonderful touch of humor to end on!

I can't say I'm glad, because making somebody feel that pain is certainly not nice. ^^" Hope it wasn't too bad.

Haha, interesting that you noticed. I had thought about making this a huge glowing thank you to Watson's selfless care, but the space wouldn't have allowed, and it would have been terribly out of character for Holmes anyway. On the other hand, depression makes us see more clearly, and I thought an honest feeling of having made a good decision would work much better than a teary "I wuv me doc". =P Sometimes the blackness brings forth the best jokes.

Trust Holmes to find the practical side of any situation. :D Nice.

Depression's analytical mode has its advantages, one of them being punchlines that fit the word count. ;P

The logical thought process here really works. Effective and affective.

Keeping the word limit was especially hard this time, so I'm very relieved if the story appears coherent.

Ah, Holmes, always thinking ahead... ;-) I can completely imagine him deducing all the advantages to having his own personal physician.

As if those weren't at hand! ;P
