Undercurrents is amazingly well written, to the point of being lyrical. Martha Manning uses mostly water metaphors to describe her depression (ex: endlessly rowing your boat to shore but never making any progress). She illustrates that the following statements are true:
- You are NOT your depression
- You are INCREDIBLY strong for fighting to get better, even if all you can do is get out of bed for therapy
- Sometimes the best help is just being held and listened to.
