So many of us struggle on, not daring or knowing how to ask for help. More of us, terribly, go undiagnosed.\n\nSally Brampton twitterbio @SallyBrampton Writer and journalist, Psychologies columnist. Author of Shoot the Damn Dog (a book about depression, not hunting).\n\nHomepage 18 mei\nThis is where I write about pretty much everything I love; usually emotion, because I think that\u2019s where we all connect. I write about depression because I have depression, and I think it\u2019s good to talk about it. Sharing can bring us out of the dark and into the light. That\u2019s why I wrote a book about it; Shoot the Damn Dog, and I am pleased and honoured that it helps so many people, who write to me sharing their experiences. I wish I could reply to every letter, but I simply can't, because there are so many, but sometimes, it\u2019s just good to get our thoughts down on paper. It makes us feel less alone and I hope it helps you as much as it helps me to know that we are in this together, and that there are people who truly understand.\nI haven't posted on this website for some time, because I have been very unwell, (that damn dog again) but now the light has returned, I would like to connect with you all again because, really, life is about connection and it is what we lose when we are in the shadows.\nSo, hello again. ---><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Er gaat iemand dood die ik niet ken. 151.600 mensen gaan elke dag dood.
