Yes, this is how it happened for me. Very slowly. I could feel the hope getting smaller and smaller and the hopelessness and depression getting bigger and bigger. I'm not completely self unaware; I could feel it happening and tried to stop it, but no one would help when I asked. I think my body and mind just gave up after a while because it was too stressful and demonstratively futile to keep holding on.
Thank you. I guess we'll see.
