Dark side of the light
Major part of my life, I have been unhappy. I cannot explain or elaborate, nor I can write a novella as relatable as this.
Depression has seemingly bared her soul. I am sure, she had her set of inhibitions and constant fights with self; but there can't be more gritty words to describe all that she experienced.
"Jonathan Safran Foer writes in Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, 'Sometimes I can hear my bones straining under the weight of all the lives I'm not living. she has liberated her dark thoughts to make you believe every word of it.
I began to see my symptoms as defining personality traits rather than what they were: side effects of a troubled mind. When the people in my life told me I was negative, difficult and unfriendly, I believed that was just who I was deep down inside rather than attributing it to the fact that I was in pain. I embodied my illness and my illness became who I was in my mind."
Let's un-taboo depression and treat it as any other physical ailment; cure it with care and proper treatment
