10 months into my depression, this is to my wife my best friend, my solace, my confidant, the one person with the most to lose through knowing and loving me, yet the one person who stays, when others haven't or have given up!
I love this quote:
"A friend is someone who knows the song in your heart and can sing it back to you when you have forgotten the words"

"The healing gesture ... is not intended t explain it away or fill in the abyss but simply to affirm that they are not alone, that our common madness is a matter of degree that we are all siblings in the same night of truth. The healing gesture is not to explain madness if that means to explain it away but to recognise it as a common fate, to affirm our community and solidarity."
