I'm not wanting and I don't live in a hovel, but if you keep your costs low, you can do what you want to do creatively.

Take lots of time for yourself, discovering yourself-pursue not only a profession but other life passions, I always make time to rock climb or hike or write a few short stories. Also, find good people and surround yourself with them. Most importantly, always believe you will, unequivocally.

I'm Jewish, but I'm totally not.

I can only speak from my own experience, and I would say that the depression I experienced feels like a chemical change. When it came over me, when it comes over me, it feels like it's coming over me like a flu.

I always look at myself knowing that I will have a certain degree of cognitive distortion.

That still feels like the most accurate description - I felt homesick, but I was home.

Some things are just for private. It's like people thinking I'm cold or this or that. It's unfortunate, but I don't need strangers to know that I'm warm. I don't need strangers to know the real me.
