This was a good read and I think I agree on everything you said. I like the bull and mosquito analogy and thank you for your willingness and caring to reach out and help others.

Thank you for your kind words! I'm glad I could put this all together into something relatable!
It can be scary to talk about this kind of stuff sometimes, but I think it's worth it if it can offer any sort of comfort or clarity to those that encounter this sort of affliction.

You're very welcome it's the least I could offer *nods* You're a very good writer and that's true, but if someone doesn't take the chance then how could others be helped? So thank you for being open and honest about this, good luck :3

It's good to have feedback and encouragement, so thank you again.
I couldn't do this on my own, so know the support is appreciated.

I think learning about this perplexing darkness and identifying it as a symptomatic disease has helped me separate it from myself.
And approach it with a little less fear.
It's hard to fight an invisible monster, but symptoms are a little easier to manage.

Feel free to pass this on to anyone you think it might help!
All the best <3

It's nothing really, but I'm glad it helps ^^ That's at least part of the struggle with depression it seems- to reach out when it feels as though you want to crawl into a corner and die basically, or that you are too tired or overwhelmed or afraid to reach out, or at least that's how I get when I get very down *shrugs* That's good that you have been able to separate it to help keep a rational head, I know when I can that seems to help somewhat *nods* Yes I agree :3

Thank you and same to you my friend (=

Though it can still blind me with pain at times, I am gradually learning how to identify that dark cloud.
So I want to try my best to help any I can - because there are some pretty amazing people I have found trapped under a similarly oppressive darkness.
Many who inspire hope in my heart, simply knowing they are there.

So I am glad to count one more spark of hope, and friend.

I know some of that pain of which you speak, and it's an awful weight as it seems all the guilt and fear and hopelessness and anxiety just pounce on you unsuspecting *nods* That's very noble-hearted of you dear friend, I believe i feel the same when I meet a new friend like yourself with whom I can speak of these matters. Even if we can only help one another in a small way, that's better than nothing *nods* I would like to continue our conversation tomorrow, as I am off to bed now. Thank you for your support, it made my night brighter as I was down a bit myself. Goodnight (=

I am always humbled by such kind words.
I'm going to put some thought into writing about the guilt. It seems to often be a part of this weight.
That part might be hard to face down... a good challenge to grow, perhaps.
I am happy to help <3
Rest well my friend.

Thank you. That sounds good to me *nods* I hope you rested well as well :3

truer words have never been spoken. i think a good way to help others with depression is just to be available whether talking about it, just sitting there silently, or just letting them know that you that u can be there when ever they what and then check on then later to see if there ok. i'm not saying to be a counselor for them but a friend.

i also think people want meaning to there lives when they see none and to be honest i believe life has no meaning and i find that's the best part. i also think the worlds to fucking crazy to listen to reason, hates me and wants me to fail and die all alone. but just want to say this, for every day world the world tells me to give up and die i say " then u can kill me ur self then, but i'm not dead yet. "

I like the sound of that - counselor might imply I know more than I do, but a friend I can be.

I imagine it can be hard to make sense of this world, even when it's not shrouded by a clinging darkness.
I have seen a light. I think I have even felt it. Though at times I can only search for it blindly, I feel it's worth it.
So long as there is breath in me, I will seek it, because I can't think of many things more important to me to share than hope.
