The Secret Teller would like to say -

"I was rummaging through some of my old papers and such when I came across this old journal entry I had written in 2003. This was after I had returned from NYC due to a long run of depression. I am only posting this for people who are curious to weather or not entering this state of mind will leave you doomed or if there IS actually a bit of hope to grasp on to. Well, I may not have an awesome extraordinary life today, but I can say without doubt it has definitely come a long way from what this says I was before. Luckily, this journal entry was my doorway into finding more intensive treatment for this type of suffering. At the time of writing this I had returned to Rochester (my home town) from NYC and my depression wasn't subsiding. Only intensifying. I found a therapist at St Josephs Neighborhood Center ([link]), which caters to the uninsured. I met with my therapist once a week but that was not enough. I could not get through to her the intensity of what I was or was not feeling. That is when I decided to form it into a metaphor. When she read this, she was able to understand and direct me to better care. So for those out there experiencing doom.... or feeling like your soul has been ripped out, I want to let you know that in my experience it is only temporary."

At first I thought it was because you caught me on an off day. But this picture made me cry, and then I knew it was because you invoked in me as much emotion as you put into this secret.
I'm not a stalker or an obsessive freak so don't worry D:
But the fact is that these tears show hope for the artistic realm. If you love doing this, keep going! I'm a supportive stranger :)

Wow, I really love this... it took us through the whole journey, it's like I felt what the secret teller was feeling. You're a very creative person and I'm glad you got over it... Know that you don't have to wait to be invited outside that door, you can open it yourself anytime.

I'm going through something similar. I don't think many people believe I'm depressed.
