This is amazing. Though I have never been to a psychiatrist for depression, i can relate. I always hid my depression too good for anyone to even attempt to help me. I went to a therapist when I was in high school though for me and my dad's relationship issues. Even she wasn't able to see my sadness. I remember hating going there because it was always so boring. The walls were plain and the therapist talked to me as if we were in an interview for life. I didn't want to trust someone who got paid by the hour to talk to me. I was so mad that she was taking my dad's money when there was nothing to be fixed. Reality is incredibly unwelcoming...especially when you feel like you are the only one suffering.

I myself personally have never set foot in a therapist's office in my life(Although often argued I should have :P) So I got the point of view from a single scene at the opening of an episode of Sherlock and tried to work from there. I am so happy for your confirmation that my shot in the dark was able to portray it realistically. Isolation is the hardest strike of them all, but no one is ever alone in their suffering. Thank you so much for the feedback and I am delighted you were able to relate to my story so far.

I like it... I like the way you portray the main girl and then the other girl more vilnerable than her and how she would like to help her, yet, she herself is not fixed. I really like this story, hope you will finish it :)
