This is the first book that SHOWS what depressive illness feels like. Alishouse walks us through the journey she took as she discovered what was wrong, dealt with her depression, and then--with help--overcame her depression.
Simply reading about depression is not the way to help or to get help. Diana's intricate and highly intuitive fabric art takes you into the mind of a depressed person, thereby allowing you to more fully understand who they are, what they're dealing with, and how they might overcome it.
If you have a depressive illness, know that you are not alone.
