Thank you for your comment, and glad to hear you've found some measure of peace!
Sharing and getting feedback has also had a healing effect on me. A couple of years ago it often was while I was writing, or about to hit "save"-button, I was haunted with an eerie sense of primitive fear; something terribly bad will happen if you express your inner feelings and thoughts. But time after time, as I've recognized that the fear exists, yet writing and posting anyway, and then getting positive feedback, slowly the fear reaction has faded. Nowadays that fear is almost totally gone, it doesn't drain my energies, and I'm ever so delighted by feedback which confirms that sharing and communication is actually possible and meaningful. (Sense of total isolation has been one of the central sources of my depression).
Oh well, yes =) But maybe some of the coming posts will again be mostly focused on my personal and general thoughts on depression and recovery.
