so it’s been a while and i just wanted to send word out that i hope you’re doing ok. i mean, i hope you haven’t been blogging because you have been busy with cool studying good things and not because of depression and such.

i, for one, eagerly await your return. and am thinking about possibly writing something up myself sometime….

in the meantime, moadim l’simcha

Okay, I just read it myself. I highly recommend it! He talks about some of what I hope to accomplish in the world in general, in terms of reducing stigma.

There was an article in the YU student newspaper recently interviewing R’ Nati Helfgot about depression.

Now I feel compelled to write. I suffer from depression, and finding this blog has been amazing. I’m currently on meds and in therapy, though I’m backsliding a bit and not sure if I should talk to my doctor about increasing my dosage or try to wait it out. (Also walking daily, taking a good multivitamin, trying to eat well, etc.)

Anyway, I’m a convert to Judaism and so having these spiritual reminders that speak to me and bring hope are so vitally important. I appreciate your willingness to write and share more than I can say. Thank you, thank you so much, and please continue to do this work for as long as you can. It does matter. It does help.
