Hey there,
I've been thinking a lot about depression lately. I don't think I have depression although I'd like to think that I'd be able to recognize it if I did have it. But I've been thinking more about how some of my loved ones could be struggling/dealing with depression. It's such a complicated and complex matter but I feel like it's more important than ever with all the craziness that is happening right now.
I read an actual suicide letter today from a famous twitch streamer who recently passed. It is an extremely surreal feeling knowing that real people, including your loved ones can feel the same as this woman did. I felt like I could feel the pain that she was going through just by reading the letter. In it, she described how alone she felt and how her depression accumulated to the point where it got so bad she had decided to take her own life. My heart aches for her and her loved ones and all the other people out there that are struggling with the same thing. The letter made me think about all the times that people very dear to me have told me that they feel depressed. I think about where I was when they were going through this fight or if they're going through this fight because of something I did in the first place. There's a horrible feeling to think your actions could cause someone else to feel depressed. Thinking about it, I can probably guarantee it is even more horrible in the shoes of the person feeling depressed.
I wanted to reflect on couple things today:
