He mentioned the connection between us. He identified with me. These are the things that many people want to hear, that most “normal” people want to be able to truthfully say, but almost no one can.

About This Quote

Before my diagnosis, I thought there was something wrong with me. I struggled with being happy and being able to enjoy life. I had a great career and a great family, but I always felt there was something missing. When I found out what my illness is, it made me realize that all the things I had been missing my whole life were right in front of me.

A person with depression can be described as someone who has a great family or career but feels something is missing. That is the way people with depression describe their own lives. They are not happy because they are not living, they are living because they are not happy.
