Hello there. You commented on one of my stories and I read a few of yours. I, too, am now suffering from depression and I am so sorry about what you are going through. I wish that there was something that I could do to help.

I was forced into therapy but that's a story for some other time. I don't like going, although I like the therapist well enough. Talking it over week after week just doesn't help me too much since the situation that I am facing is permanent and all the talk in the world won't change it.

Like another commenter wrote, I would invite you over for coffee and a chat. I'd love to walk with you too if you were in my neck of the woods (northwest suburbs of Chicago).

But as it goes, I will follow you on Medium and hope that you do find someone to really listen, care, and be there for you in a reliable and continuous way. I wish you the best and your comment about me having a crush on the woman who I walk with is fairly accurate, to be honest.

This is a lot, and I'm not sure that I'll have the courage to actually hit "respond," but the way things are going, I might as well.
