#09 Finally arrived in L.A. !!!

Okay guys! We’re in L.A.! We had a nice flight with great films and games. Jan and me played a lot of poker and battleships. When we arrived we went to 7 eleven and ordered a Uber car. At first without success: The driver canceled the ride, because we weren’t at the right place although we was at the pickup location. The big misunderstanding was: We were down below and the driver was on the parking lot above us. Fail haha

So then the second driver picked us up and brought us to our apartment.

It‘s pretty cool and got all we need for staying here. The only thing we were scared about was: We live in South Central, but it’s close to the university and the neighbors are nice. I think/hope it’s safe haha

See you soon!

Two Steps Behind Me: My Dance with my Dark Companion

This morning, after a long time, I used a social network again and scrolled half-heartedly.

There, I came across a post that reminded me of one of the reasons why I distance myself from these networks as much as possible.

To not fully replicate this mental fog, the core message was: „Depression doesn’t exist. You can have a depressive phase, but work on yourself and you are free.“

Having lived with this dark companion for over a decade now, I can say that this person and all who agreed with him have no idea what depression entails.

Of course, I am happy for those who told me how bad they felt for a while and that they managed to improve their mental state with regular exercise and writing down their problems. I would say these people had a bad phase in their life and found a way out of it.

But depression is not just a bad phase or sitting sad in a corner because something bad happened or you are overwhelmed with life. Depression is the brick in your backpack as you climb a mountain. It’s the key left in the ignition overnight, draining the battery. It’s the dripping tap that slowly floods your apartment while you are on a world trip.

Depression has many facets, which is why it can’t be identified as simply as a broken leg.
