I've been in residential rehab twice with a lot of folks enduring all sorts of trauma. This hits home.

Sherman, so impressed at how open you are discussing mental health. That kind of openness really pays forward - there are a lot of people who would benefit immensely from being able to share their experiences of depression, etc, and who would benefit from being more accepting of themselves. It must help people to know that you've accomplished everything that you've accomplished while dealing with so much in terms of depression. As always, deeply appreciate the comment. - Sam

Thank you, Sam. Yes, I try to be open. But not in too precarious ways! Yeah, the depressions are terrible but my manias have caused me more damage, I think, though they do feed each other
