I'm so glad to hear that I inspired you. I remember your stories and especially those that you wrote for 'the finish the story contest.' They were really decent!

I know that hope maybe seems a long way away. I've been there, which is why I know it's a stupid thing for me to start with the platitudes like 'you'll get through this.'

As I can see from this post you're deep in the well of depression and it can be extremely debilitating when people around you intimate that depression is a choice. It isn't! I know, I've been through it. I spent years completely wrapped up by my thoughts, they had compete control. Still, I go into that mindset sometimes but it's less often these days. The things that really brought me a measure of control were exercise and meditation.

I hope you find a strategy to deal with it all Mav.

People don't realise what a super human effort it is just to get through the day for someone who has bad depression.

Take care bro 🙂
