Your writing is incredible and your description of deppression is better than anything that I could begin to express.  But I can only tell you that I identify with that which you speak.  Though I have been diagnosed at bipolar, the majority of my time is spent in the darkness of that cave.  But over time my disease has also changed and morphed. I will not go into detail here.  But I am most curious when you come out of your darkness what those times are like and how you view your reality.  Perhaps you have already written about it and I need to go back which I will do.  Mostly I just wanted to say thanks for writing and sharing your perspective.  Please do not stop.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8882776/112161394503440319/comments/default/112201745402935527'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8882776/112161394503440319/comments/default/112201745402935527'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://blackdogdays.blogspot.com/2005/07/reply-reflections-on-hope.html?showComment=1122017400000#c112201745402935527' title=''/><author><name>Steve</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08704233834875977303</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://blackdogdays.blogspot.com/2005/07/reply-reflections-on-hope.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8882776.post-112161394503440319' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8882776/posts/default/112161394503440319' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8882776.post-112167442764448796</id><published>2005-07-18T18:13:00.000+10:00</published><updated>2005-07-18T18:13:00.000+10:00</updated><title type='text'>Thank you for this post and for this amazing insig...</title><content type='html'>Thank you for this post and for this amazing insight into your life - it speaks to me and I have learnt things through reading it.
