βDepression is also smaller than you. Always, it is smaller than you, even when it feels vast. It operates within you, you do not operate within it. It may be a dark cloud passing across the sky but β if that is the metaphor β you are the sky. You were there before it. And the cloud canβt exist without the sky, but the sky can exist without the cloud.β
β Matt Haig (Reasons to stay alive)
