Summary

In 2012, The Recovery Letters was launched to host a series of letters online written by people recovering from depression, addressed to those currently affected by a mental health condition. Addressed to “Dear You,” the inspirational and heartfelt letters provided hope and support to those experiencing depression and were testament that recovery was possible.

Now, for the first time, these letters have been compiled into an anthology for people living with depression and are interspersed with motivating quotes and additional resources as well as new material written specifically for the book. This powerful collection of personal letters from people with first-hand experiences of depression will serve as a comforting resource for anyone on the journey to recovery.

Just wow!

An honest and open collection of letters that both inspire and give hope to not only to those caught in darkness but also those supporting. Truly beautiful. During my own battles I write poetry:

Like a symphony in my brain, their words dance a tune
Angels and demons battling for glory
Their rhythm of blast beats, hit after hit
Cacophony!
The climax crashes through my soul and silence fills me as I wait for the encore

Reading this you realise that you’re not alone and whatever gets you through (writing poetry for me) is a coping mechanism that many of us share. Thank you all for sharing xx
