Hi my dear friend,

Understanding a illness is not that simple. We can understand that we have a broken bone and why we need a cast for it but understanding the what , why, when and ??? about an illness like depression is a difficult thing. Depression is a mental illness that also affect the body, our environment, people around us and our very soul. To understand would mean to be the illness itself but we are not. The illness is a part of us but not who we are.

I don't think that I will ever clearly understand what depression is, even if I do a lot of research on it, but I do fight to keep in mind that depression is an illness and not who I am.

Sometime we just can't explain or express ourself my dear friend, and it's ok. We all do this. We are all here and we are all your friend. We love you!

Many hugs!
