Thank you. I’m attempting to type through a flood of tears (something that hasn’t happened in a while) and having a hard time articulating my thoughts at the moment as this hit home so deeply. I heard “You Say” for the first time while in the midst of a severe depressive episode.

I didn’t mean to send that yet. My mom needed help with something that apparently couldn’t wait 5 seconds. All I wanted was a chance to attempt to make it look like I hadn’t been crying. 😂

I very much admire your bravery, and relate to so much of what you write. Especially right now, as I comment on your post while sitting in a grad school lecture, days removed from a recent state of mental health crisis of my own. The little glimpses and exploration you share are so impactful.

My therapist is awesome so we got some strategies. A lot of DBT skills. But most of all it's just simply being kind to myself and realizing I've been here before and will manage through it.
