I like this guy. I think I've posted links to some of the visual essays he's written on depression.

Yes, but they are told very dramatically (hyperbolically, even) and they are told through my perspective at the time the story occurred. I sometimes add minor details where my memory fails me (for example, I don't actually remember how I got into the room with the cake, I just know that I got in there somehow, so I thought of the most plausible explanation and used it) and I sometimes leave out details to simplify things and keep the story moving (for example, in the story about the melted teapot, I was traveling with a few members of my college track team, but they were asleep throughout the incident and it would have been tedious to explain the exact nature of the trip, so I just said I was "traveling through Oregon."). Basically, I try to tell the story in the most entertaining and efficient way while still sticking pretty close to the truth."
To go off of one of the themes you presented, where you said that you would try to explain to people that your fishes were dead, yet nobody would acknowledge this and act as if they were just missing or hiding, and you were tired of people trying to make you "feel" again, when the emotions were dead. With an eating disorder, say, anorexia, just trying to feed or force-feed the person isn't going to magically make them not anorexic, because it's not hunger that's the issue, it's body image and a desire to have control, which is another theme you presented.
I guess the analysis is my way of saying, "Wow, you did a really great job!"
I dunno, I'm not one to approach celebrities willy-nilly.
