How to Help Someone With Depression - a guide.

The Cut published How to Help Someone With Depression and it has some helpful, broad guidelines for someone who would like to know what it is that they can offer friends and family who are suffering. 

Maria Bamford is indeed hilarious.

Maria Bamford on The Hilarious World of Depression is everything.

Her story matters to me. I can't explain it otherly. I adore her am grateful for her.

She speaks about psychiatric facilities as being a "holding facility" and not a place of healing, as well as her experiences with an eating disorder, OCD, and bi-polar 2.

Both she and Joe talk about how accessing good care is a life-long struggle. Something that is really difficult to accept, and is discouraging, and is just brutal sometimes.

I cannot recommend it enough. I rarely laugh out loud at stuff, but a few of her bits really got me.

Added little pleasure, when I said this on twitter, she hearted my comment.

Music: The Most Lamentable Tragedy

Titus Andronicus is a band whose singer, Patrick Stickles, suffers from manic depression. Their latest album is all about that reality.

He was asked by The Atlantic if he made this record for people suffering from manic depression, and he replied:

Mostly just for one person that does.

Check out the album. I like I Lost My Mind, and Fatal Flaw.
