Thank you. I've had a lot of experience writing. And well, this was a very meandering piece, but I didn't feel like writing it organized, and editing it, not just because it wouldn't be true to the experience, but because some pieces are just too large for you to treat that way.
I recommend reading this piece from Hyperbole and a Half, if you want to read another take on depression. Here is the first part, which was posted 2 years before the second.
Understanding others, and being understood, are probably two of the loftiest goals we can have in life.
I'll keep that on my reading list :) thanks!
