When I first saw your piece, it was something I could relate to. And by the way you shared your feelings, I realized that going that deep into depression spending a period where you are just numb to feelings is not something I have to be ashamed of or something that says I am not strong.

I started writing on Medium as an outlet for my feelings because I always find myself fall short on expressing just what I feel through any other medium. I wrote these poems for myself, but sharing them here, and seeing how others respond to it reminds me that I am not alone in this. And that writing can be used as a way to heal.

Thank you for taking your time to respond and your words. I hope to see you write more and share your stories in the future. And I'm certain we'll find more places where we can relate to each other through writing.
