Looking after ourselves, getting the help we need instead of denying what we feel and that we need help. I need lots of help, and I've finally learned to ask for it.
Yes, I want to be authentic.
there is an idea that in objectifying the depression, and dis-inviting it from life, we can rewire the brain and decrease depression. perhaps mistakenly, I call that faking it. Perhaps wrongfully, too, I think that my fakery is not that powerful. I fake enough/ compartmentalize/ to survive, but at great personal energy cost.
