Writing as a method of wrestling with one's pain strikes me as a healthy way of handling the mental malaise. I think your emphasis on NOT romanticising mental illness is a very good point. Many artists may be depressed but depression does not make the artist. And staying, mentally, in that kind of headspace sounds, well, depressing.

Thanks Cade! Looks like you’ve been keeping up on the writing part (based on your Substack)!
Trying to, at least.
