“I was depressed and su!cidal for almost three years.
"Of course, I showed up every day, as if I wasn’t struggling or dying inside.
"Depression made me realise how much of a medicine joy is; my whole body was shutting down.
"I was diagnosed with a sort, and I gained so much, but still not as much as the weight I was carrying inside.
