I don’t know what to say but I hope you get better.

I really appreciate that you write so honestly about this. I don’t wish depression on anyone, and I’m so so so sorry you are going through this, but it is refreshing on some level to see the raw underside of it rather than a someone who is obviously hurting feeling like they have to pretend everything is okay.

I just want to tell you that I love your honesty. Those dark places, they suck. I’ve been there. I too have learned that sometimes you need to just keep acting like a human being and eventually you become a human being again. I loved that line in this blog “Enough measured, deliberate mimicry of human behaviors, and eventually you become a human being again”. It’s very true. When I get down now I just try to remember that and I try to do one or two things each day that keep me feeling human. Eventually, the light comes back. I’m so glad that you found your way through and that you are feeling better!

I can’t think of anything pithy, interesting or helpful to say, but I will say I’m so glad you came through that unharmed. I hope you continue to get well; I have a feeling your voice and your words go far beyond what you realize.

I’m another loyal lurker who missed you while you were gone, and am so relieved that I won’t have to miss you much worse, if that makes sense. I have been where you were, far too recently for comfort; I’m just barely clawing my way back up the side of the cliff right now. But I can see cherry trees blooming at the top, and tulips, I swear it. Grab on, Jen…spring IS coming.

Be well.

Oh, honey. I can’t tell you how glad I am you found your way back. I only know you from the Internet, but nevertheless would have felt a profound loss if you’d gone through with it. And if all these faceless strangers on the Internet would have missed you, how much more so your family and friends in real life? You are very loved. I hope you never forget that.

I am so glad you have started to make your way back. Climbing back out is hard, but you can make it.

Having just found you and your blog, I’d hate to lose you.
Be strong and blieve in Spring. Your spirit just needs a spring clean.
