Thank you.

As some one who suffers from depression it’s good to hear some one who doesn’t spout the “Oh, just pull yourself together!” line. Having tried to take my own life in the past, and sometimes being so depressed that I was nearly catatonic it’s a relief to hear people that don’t hold that against me. Because I have.

Depression, all mental illnesses, are like cancer in another way. They are never cured. They only go into remission. You live every day with the fear it will come back, and it will kill you next time.
