I'll be constructing an imagined library for someone suffering from depression.

I recently came through one of my worst ever bouts - that took me off work for months and in the end completely changed my life. It was at times crippling, desperatley terrifying and all-consuming.

Creating and imagining a private safe space filled with everything you need to pull you out of your current situation can be such a great mental tool. It was one of the things that in a small way helped me to claw my way out.

I've decided to reconstruct my personal imagined space, and hopefully will demonstrate the tools you can use to create your own.

I also share some of what I think is some of the best writing to approach the subject - some of it to inform, and some others that do a great job of articulating what it really feels like, so that you might be able to relate to bits and pieces and feel understood.

I hope this could be useful for anyone suffering froma period of depression, or anyone that is worried about a friend or a family member.
