I finished reading Matt Haig’s book reasons to stay alive. In the book, the author talks about his journey in battling depression.
On page 173, he summarizes: Depression is as
An internal war.
A black hole
An invisible fire
A pressure cooker
A devil inside
A prison
An absence
A malicious code in the operating system of your mind
A parallel universe
An echo chamber
Dark hopeless & lonely
I have been around people fighting depression off late and my journey in my late 20s. I could resonate well with the author’s take.
