New Friends
I had a lovely evening out tonight with a relatively new friend. It's funny how the one thing in common that has really solidified us being friends is having depression. For my friend, a few years ago. The truth is that I have a few friends around who really get it. I wouldn't wish depression on anyhow, but there are times when I really need to talk to people who totally understand, so I am glad to have these people in my life.

That’s great, Danielle. Good to have someone like that. I never did that for myself. I withdrew from the world and wallowed in my own self-pity (but man, I loved the creativity it brought on). I don’t think even today most people I know have any idea just how hard, rock bottom I struck. And I discovered that I have a nasty self-destructive streak a mile long to boot. I tried to crash my world but instead found out that’s a lot harder to do than you think (and it's twice as hard to try and fix it again too). If I had to do it all over again would I do it the same way? Probably. I loved the pain (really made me self-aware) and I’m a bit of a lone wolf anyways. But, for you, I think it’s awesome you have that connection with someone. Good luck.
