It is what I want too. To be understood. I am also very open about it because I want to reduce stigma and educate. But I know a big part of it is the need to be understood. We all want that. It is not so much the causes which we can argue about endlessly but what it is really like for me when severely depressed and the fact that I can't help it when it hits. It just hits.
