"Time is short and it doesn't return again. It is slipping away while I write this and while you read it, and the monosyllable of the clock is Loss, Loss, Loss, unless you devote your heart to its opposition." -- Tennessee Williams

I am taken aback by the stark, unapologetic honesty of this post, and I'm sitting here still somewhat in shock about the whole thing. I seriously had no idea ( ... )

It cannot be denied that we are stronger and wiser for it. And going through what we went through is a testament to our friendship and love for one another. How many other people can claim to have gone through that and survived?

And you are too, Janna! It's for those very reasons why I feel kind of protective of you. I don't ever want to see anyone fall into what I had to go through.

I read this lost in your world of depression and hardships entranced. My own life jumping out from the screen at me. I understand completely what you went through. The only difference is that I took a family into my situation. My depression and manic phases (undiagnosed with Bipolar disorder) at the time nearly cost me my marriage. Had I not been married to a man as strong as Mark with unconditional love for me, I'd have been on my own. Depression so deep that every day I thought of suicide. I told not a soul. Years and years of feeding the depression with spending drove us into bankruptcy with 3 children. Eventually the nervous breakdown 3 years ago (at 35) was the beginning of getting my life back.

Thank you very much. I was thinking, when I finished writing this, that you more than anyone else on my Friend's list would relate and empathize with this. It's a dark, evil, terrible place to be. But kudos to us who were able to weather the storm and come out better for it.

Yes, we did, didn't we? We should both be proud of ourselves. We have been through hell and still standing!

Hey sweetheart, I just wanted to say I'm glad this is in the passive tense. You've pulled yourself up now, and acquired the wisdom to stay that way. Thank you for this brutally honest post. The arcane of the past will be in my prayers.

It was a post that was a long time coming. I figured I was doing my friends a disservice by claiming my journal to be as honest as it is and not telling everything. I'm glad I added you as a friend. You're a pretty fuckin' cool guy.
