I like this from depressionforums.org written by k-pluto


"I've never swam in the ocean before. I've never jumped off of a boat before. I've never not worried before.
It made me feel like there was hope.
I'll be able to get of of this depression.
I will be able to go a day without an anxiety attack.
I'll be able to do fun things I've never felt before. I'll be able to live. "

This is so encouraging.
Reminds me very much of how I felt after reading The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time
