What a powerful and insightful statement which most just don't get.... "I am the happiest I have ever been....But I'm depressed." This seeming dichotomy is a state of existence for so many, where function exists, but doesn't stop the irrational thoughts, anxieties, and fears. It is this reality right there that confounds those who see others as emotional or attention seeking or whatever. To understand that statement is to dive deep into the life of one who is suffering.
