I have more than twenty years of experience with it, but every bad season hurts just the same. When those episodes come (I'm going through one now), I know it will happen just like the others did.
Oh yes, I completely agree about the power of writing. It helps to get the negative out, expressing ourselves freely. It also focuses our attention outside ourselves, preventing us from being so isolated from the world.
We'll keep working hard, writing and finding the will to live. I hope you are well too. A strong and loving hug. ❤️🤗
