Publisher's Synopsis
We are all imperfect beings and for some our minds are occupied by these emotionally distraught identities. We strive to hide them from view, safeguard them from external judgment. Any slip or slight exposure will allow our impaired psyche to be susceptible to superficial interpretation. I have spent years attempting to abate my depression, failing at times...miserably. Consumed by it and alternatively at times aware of the intrinsic motivation it embodies. Depression with suicidal tendencies can be an inescapable burden. It is mentally and physically exhausting to avoid falling off the ledge. Augment the formidable battle that is life long depression with being forced to circumvent seismic life experiences and your hill becomes a mountain. This book was my therapeutic attempt at rationalizing various incidences that may have bore weight on my enduring misery. Facing assaults, a shooting, teen pregnancy, and an unstable marriage all before the age of consent can impede an already vulnerable mind. But honestly, who has an ordinary life anyway...
