i wish depression were an emergency. I wish someone could take one look at how sick I am and go โoh my god, we need to get you to a hospital!โ and then when we get there I get rushed into surgery and the surgeons say โitโs a good thing you brought her here when you did, this is a seriously advanced caseโ and then they put me under and spend the next ten hours pulling metres of long, sticky black strands of gunk out of my body, throwing it immediately into an incinerator so that it canโt infect anyone else. And then they could stitch me back up and I could rest a few days, and when I leave the hospital everyone can see how much better I am and they congratulate me saying โwell done, youโve been so brave, Iโm so glad youโre ok. I love you.
