Thank you Grace. That is really helpful. I have had two serious depressive episodes, and also when I was younger was depressed without understanding it. You are right. Recovery is not linear, and the spiral metaphor is very helpful.

I can't stop thinking about the spiral as a representation of me in time. Almost that going 'back' is natural and helpful. And thank you for recovering over and over. Thank you for not staying in denial. You are astonishing.
