Do you ever feel yourself becoming quite emotional when writing and is there a specific passage in particular where this was the case?
As I write about depression and self-harm, I find myself becoming emotional all of the time! When I think about just how many people suffer from mental illness, and know that right now there will be millions of people feeling just as depressed as I was – it brings me to tears. I never, ever believed that I could change - but now I know that this is just one of the many 'tricks' depression plays on us. Writing makes me emotional because it gives me hope that one day, my words will help someone else understand depression and learn to cope.
