I am deeply saddened by your suffering. I cannot imagine what you are going through, and have nothing but empathy and a glimmer of understanding to offer you.

I am deeply saddened by your suffering. I cannot imagine what you are going through, and have nothing but empathy and a glimmer of understanding to offer you. My small insight as a lifelong depressive is that well-meaning people who give advice and encouragement often do so from a position of limited understanding, hopefully because they have never had to endure similar torment. It can seem inconceivable to them that sometimes people are so destroyed that it is effectively impossible to take their advice, or derive comfort from their words. I truly hope you find some relief that avoids the need for self-liberation.
