A brave write. Depression is like a shadow; sometimes feint, sometimes so dense it smothers out all light.

A brave write indeed, Mona. I hope this in somewhat was a bit of a release. I'm in recovery from self-harm and I deal with depression too. It's so hard to describe how depression can just hit you and shock your whole sense of being. How it seems to be an illusion that it could ever leave permanently. I agree too that it changes a person. That really resonated with me. I do wish we could let it go, or demand that it stop attaching itself and following our every move.

Sending you support and strength. Always here if you need to talk. Keep penning your emotions, no matter how dark.
