I think this is what first drawn me to your newsletter, Jihene. You write these mental illnesses in a way that is not surface level. And I perfectly understand when you said saying "depression" even feels like a sugarcoat to everything you had to deal with. Often my thoughts also scare me, and saying that feels like a mere generalization too. I couldn't even begin to imagine how it must feel like now that you're having a baby. But I'm proud of you not just for baring it all, but also for bearing it all. xx
Thank you for your kind words my dear. It is quite frustrating after some time of doing research only to come across this umbrella term over and over again. We, humans in general, are much more layered and feel a great deal of emotions to limit ourselves to such a term. I’m glad my words resonated with you, I’ve done my job! 🥰
