Sorry for hijacking your feed but this

I was raised very much in that "we don't talk about that kind of thing" mindset, where you are supposed to pretend like everything is fine when it isn't. It took a LOT of work for me to be able to say things out loud.rings so true with me.

Having a dad who has been depressed since I was in my early teens ( a quarter of a century ago ) and who had a psychosis in 2009, didn't help with this. He never expressed himself, emotionally, and talking about depression, or later my fathers 'craziness' / psychosis ( which was the effect of too much morphine after open-heart surgery ) did not happen in my parents' household. And believe me when I say they can talk.

This is one of my favorite phrases:

"depression is the opposite of expression".

Let's not stop to express ourselves ( in words and or creativity )
