“I can feel it coming on. It’s like… it’s like being out in the middle of a still ocean and then, out of nowhere, a wave starts to build. There’s nothing you can do, no place you can go to hide. All you can do is brace yourself as it crashes down. The sadness is so overwhelming it’s like I’m drenched and gasping for air. No matter what I do, how hard I try, I can’t get dry or warm. Even though I know this has happened before, and all those times I somehow made it out of the storm, in that moment, it feels like forever.”
