Mental health 

On the one hand I agree with the observation from Rebecca Solnit that despair is a valid feeling but it's not an analysis

On the other, I *feel* pretty strongly like I want to die sometimes and sometimes the feeling is too intense to really *analyze* it

Always struggle with the "no time for despair" framing and the way it implies there's an indulgence to sorrow, as though one is losing in the fight of one's life simply out of laziness or not trying hard enough. I would love to feel other feelings!!
