"Depression" by "Alexandra" is absolutely incredible. It told a story that held a great deal of truth. Depression is a dark and lonely place that many people tend to overlook.

Alexandra's description of depression included her own personal experience with the mental ilness. The reader knows that she wrote this with the difficulties of depression in mind. Which added a great deal of depth.

Many people are convinced that the brain doesn't get sick, but, in reality, so many people are dealing with all types of mental illnesses. They're something that cant be seen, so many people don't understand.

Alexandra took depression and forced people to understand the difficulties, for that I thank her. Wherever you are, Alexandra, keep fighting, because it gets better.

This piece reminded me of my battle with depression, and how I am still fighting. It reminded me to never underestimate small victories, because, at times, the small victories are the only things helping you see tomorrow.
