Dear Cardinal,
Are there any other people out there that secretly battle with depression? From the outside looking in, it would appear that I have no reason to be depressed. People that know me would least suspect it, but I know that it strikes people from all walks of life. Its really no fun and I wouldn't wish it upon anybody. I would like to meet somebody else in the same boat and share our stories, someone who understands, someone who I can confide in. You have my promise that I will not 'out' you by attempting to alert your loved ones of your situation, I expect the same. It would really make my day to hear from you and know that I'm not the only one suffering. Thanks.
