"I mean, everybody gets depressed, it's totally normal. At the time I didn't realize that, I thought I was really sick and I was self-medicating and then the medicine stopped working and I really thought - I really did think I was going to die. I think it's something that everybody goes through and that's not to belittle the fact that some people have it worse than others and some people can't get out of bed ... I think that exists and I think it's very serious but I notice a lot of people think they can solve their problems with anti-depressants and that I've noticed being a bigger issue. Like it really strips people of who they are ... like, all your quirks and all your problems - even your depressions and your failures - that's what makes you, you and there's a lot of drugs out there that'll take that away from you. I won't even ... I won't take anything. I barely take NyQuil when I'm sick." That's from an interview from NME.com. :)
Loved this. I'm going through some things like this now and it totally helps talking through it. I applaud you for this. It makes me feel (even though it's fanfiction here) that I'm not alone in this and there are others out there that I can relate to. Bravo.

That's great to hear. It wasn't easy for me to write this stuff. So, thanks.
