The Passive Voice

I know I am using the passive voice far too regularly in my posts. It is one of my many failings as a writer. However, in addition, composing these posts is excruciatingly painful, as I am required to recall experiences that to this day remain unhealed and have left me in utter despair. The process is much like trying to swim through molasses. Each stroke requires enormous resolve and effort. In part, the passive voice is simply a reflection of my emotional exhaustion.
