Reply to "Thoughts on This Image/ Quote"

As someone who comes down usually after a manic phase, I consider depression a chance to slow down and recuperate.

People are way more able to support me in low mood; I'm not "the thing that wouldn't shut up" anymore.

Protecting me from destructive depression is the fact that my dad took his life when I was young and I refuse to pass along that legacy to my son.

So yes, I'm resting and using a zen approach of just going with the flow, and not fighting so hard to steer the boat going over the waterfall.  There's something cool about letting go and enjoying the view.

My best wishes for peace and comfort to those in pain.
