Very well written piece. Made so much sense as I recently went through my first offical clinical depression. Have bookmarked this page for repeated reading. !

“I will tell you where I have lost most. People. My terrible mood swings and my sudden withdrawals perplexed the best of my friends. They did not know how to be with me. They did not know what the boundaries were. And I was not helping. I couldn’t. But it was not fair to them. Those who had a sense that I was suffering hung around patiently. Others simply thought I was blowing hot and cold. The way I saw it, well, why should they complicate their lives by having to deal with my ups and downs? ‘Drama queen’ was a label. ‘Intense’ was the adjective used often. All of it scared boyfriends away – prospective ones as well as actual ones.”

– sigh, how true is that? I hate myself when I have mood swings.

Thank you for this honest piece of writing – some of the coping strategies you have shared will certainly be useful to others also suffering from depression. I also decided to go freelance a few years ago on account of my sleeping patterns and periods of withdrawal. It IS possible to stand on one’s two feet despite internal struggle. 🙂
