| Indeed, this book is AMAZING. Vizzini, the author, does a great job of characterizing depression and the everyday coping that one must do in order to survive. |

| This is often how I feel in school. I withdraw because everyone else seems so focused on the trivial that I just cannot even try to fit in. That said, sometimes people turn to communities such as this for the empathy and support. Many of these individuals are out in the world everyday trying to make... |

| I am sorry to hear that you went through the same thing. It seems that most hospital stays are either extremely chaotic and jarring (I've had these types of stays before) or otherwise terribly boring and tedious. It seems as if self-medicating is extremely common. Which wouldn't be an issue if the ... |

| If you are paired with someone, does it mean you have to stay with them constantly, or just share a room? If you just have to sleep in the same room, then it probably won't matter who you are paired with, as you won't really actually have to interact with them. I don't know if this is what you are l... |

| Dear Best Friend, You are the most amazing person I have ever known, but I am really worried about you. You deserve so much more than this depression, and you need mental health treatment. I know the church means much to you, but I am worried you only became involved because you thought that maybe C... |

| Wow, this is really powerful, and sort of reminds me of the situation I have been in. I, too, was involuntarily hospitalized when my SI got too bad, and it was one of the most intense experiences of my life.

| Hola everyone! Like all the others in this section, I am new here. I guess I am neurotypical, but suffer from an adjustment disorder with anxiety. I have always had many friends in the spectrum, but I wouldn't know it until well into our relationship when they would divulge that information. I am he... |
