It's been such a pleasure getting to know you through Photo-a-Day and your other posts, Shruthi. I've particularly enjoyed watching you grow as a photographer.

Shruthi, I was impressed that you wrote here of depression and anxiety as your friends. I suffer from both, also, and it was once I chose to embrace and get to know them that they retreated. I am on anti-anxiety medication now but not for the emotional depression and anxiety I was experiencing, which were already mostly absent, but for the food anxiety I developed when I was sick last year.

Below is a link to a poem I wrote about depression sometimes being a comfort. I hope you find relief from your emotional trials.
