“Depression can be understood as a sign of the loss of self, and consists of a denial of one’s own emotional reactions and feelings. The denial begins in the service of an absolutely essential adaptation during childhood, to avoid losing love.”

“You never loved life more than any of us. You made that very clear although most people around you were envious of how much better you lived than them. However, you did feel that there was beauty in life though you favored the melancholy of death more. You took your own life because you wanted to feel in control of it but we all know how destroyed you were when he left you although it was you who cheated on him. You killed every part of you that we all loved and left us with traces of the hidden private. The private parts that you could never show. The parts you secretly wanted to be loved.

You understood better than your friends who read and memorized the Quran or the Bible or the Torah that heaven could not exist without hell.”
