I don't know if I ever want to understand it all either, I don't know if we can having not been there, just like with other mental illnesses. But it is very interesting. The workings of the mind have intrigued me since I was a child. Sylvia Plath was one of my favorite writers and if you don't know, she was extremly depressed and eventually committed suicide. Then there was the whole Sybil thing, which the real story, not the movie, was incredibly intersting. The mind protects us as well as causing pain and whatnot.
"Acceptance doesn't mean resignation. It means understanding that something is what it is and there's got to be a way through it."--Michael J. Fox
