In light of the Robin Williams news and some other incidents that have happened recently I started becoming very interested in depression and anxiety. This interest prompted me to do a bunch of research about those subjects and my findings were really amazing. The past couple of weeks my eyes have really been opened to the reality of these unfortunate conditions and how people deal or attempt to live with such hardships.
Then I did the only thing I really know how to do to express my thoughts, I started writing a short story about some of the stuff I learned. I am still putting the finishing touches on it and adding a detail here and there. There are many dark elements in the story that I have never written about publicly. Hard things people go through, the reality of the situation. How I am I to leave these out? It would be a an inaccurate account of my findings and an incomplete work of reflected stories that I have found.
I am thankful I did some digging and learned about something I knew nothing about. Sure I had preconceived notions, but I didn’t know any facts. I hope you all enjoy my story and maybe gain awareness to such a frightening, dark world that maybe someone you love is going through.
Short story should be done within a week or so…
