Ooof, this carries a lot of weight... The imagery of pressure building under the surface, and no one being able to tell, really hit me. So many people carry that quietly, I know I once did as well. I was especially moved by the line about having a dark inner world but a benevolent heart. That tension is so real during depressive seasons.
Thank you for sharing this piece of where you were, and for the reminder that we can grow and evolve even when the episodes don’t fully disappear. 🤍

Thank you for reading. Although I do still deal with it, it's a different kind of feeling now.
