The persistent feeling of sadness, can it sink even deeper? To fall headlong into the abyss, in the darkest moments. Melancholy intertwines with each day, amidst the darkness and those challenges that seem impossible to overcome.

I know this feeling (and even worse) by personal experience. I had dysthymia (a chronic form of depression) as a child. Currently I do not even remember how I even came out of it.
