I love your image and its title. I rarely think about my depression as having levels. I think of alcoholism as having a beginning, middle, and end but not depression. Maybe because depressed people don't get better or die as spectacularly as drunks. Depression is a quiet little monster. It hurts only you, and you spouse and kids (if you have them). There is very little collateral damage with depression. Thanks for reminding me that not every day is the end-of-the-world, that most days are merely exhausting and without hope.
