Depression Confession: Matthew Good

Mar 12 2009 | Comments 0

The Canadian bandleader describes dysphoric mania like this:

“Imagine being put in a coffin with the things you fear the most, being buried underground and feeling it start to shrink, and multiply that feeling by 1,000. You think, ‘If I die now, that’d be cool.’”

Isn’t that a superb evocation? Good is speaking at a mental health conference about his experience with bipolar disorder, having become a real advocate on the subject. I like this song by him.
