Thank you for writing this!! The last paragraph in particular is something I'm learning very very slowly too -- the objective is not to eliminate mental illness (hard pill to swallow), but to distance from it emotionally until it's not so scary.

Thanks for writing this and then sharing it with me.

What you described, I struggle with the same daily.

It’s encouraging because I see you as a successful, intelligent person. It’s encouraging for me.

Anyway, thank you.

Keep on keeping on Emma.

(I’m not sure why I thought to write that last line. It’s dorky and random. But I’m going with it.)
