Thank you for writing about these experiences, and for bringing this subject to Counter Arts.

I can't abide anything which makes me focus in on my depressive state or suicidal leanings, it makes me worse in a big way. I could never have dealt with the trial questioning and journalling you underwent.

Having resisted therapy all my life, I eventually gave in and started to see someone around the point I was turning 50. I've found it to be a truly helpful experience.

Thanks again, this was an interesting read.
