I am thrilled to feature our first guest post on the blog today. This piece was written by an author who not only possesses the first hand experience of living each and every day being “followed” by the dark cloud of depression, but he has also acquired, along the way, the collective thoughts of many that have found themselves riding the same train through what he calls “this pitch black tunnel called life”. He forms his ideas around the central concept that many of life’s large questions merit more than one answer; attempting to guide others to find these answers within themselves. In the process, he hopes to help others see the light at the end of this tunnel, and better understand how to strive towards it.
The author shared the following with me, “My own personal experience regarding the great unknown that is the mental illness treatment facility journey began in the early years of my high school years. The ever-following dark cloud that formed above my head would soon become the most powerful eye opener of my life. It showed me that every silver lining glimmers brighter than many can see, and the light at the end of the tunnel is closer than it appears.”
