Old comment about depression

April 1, 2015 7:16 PM

I'm trying to find an old comment on here about knowing someone with depression and how it was like holding them in a glass ball and turning it over and over and never getting them out? Something very close to that sentiment. I cannot remember the exact wording.

Are you misremembering The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath?

Can't find the link but I know that someone here referenced this comic, is that it?

I feel certain I've read this comment but I haven't been able to find it.

MetaFilter post featuring the introversion comic from Melismata's link above.

It's not the introversion comic. It was specifically about how someone viewed or felt about a loved one with depression.

“as if my sadness was a huge ball rolling along uncontrollably outside of me”
