This is a wonderful story.

As someone who is likely to inherit bipolar depression, I feel this story perfectly outlines the pain and anxiety that comes with this inevitability.

And that's the issue. It's painful, it's bittersweet, but it's just not fear-inducing. Even to someone who can personally relate to watching a love one self-destruct due to circumstances beyond their control, this just makes me depressed.

I know other people have different experiences that affect their takeaway from this piece, but for me, fear comes from the unknown.

This is just too real to truly frighten.
