Thank you.

(Sorry, I couldn't figure out another good way to get this to you without just tweeting it publicly.)

So, I just wanted to say thank you for that tweet you made last Tuesday. I suffer from depression/anxiety.

That day, sitting in my corner of the room, when I had someone looking down my neck, and I didn't know what I was supposed to be doing, and I couldn't even type correctly because my hands were trembling too much, I wanted to cry and just quit everything I'm doing in life. Everything was just too scary. I felt like I was just too scared of everything that could happen, everything that someone might do or say, to matter.

I want you to know that you helped me. You reached across the void of the internet, and helped me feel better. You helped me remember that there are people who get it. Who understand that I want to talk to others but sometimes can't. Who understand what it's like to want to feel like they've made an important difference in the world today, or even mattered to anyone at all, but sometimes just can't. You reminded me that I am not alone.

I want you to know that you made a real difference to someone.

Thank you so much for bringing some peace to the life of this stupid intern.

(Thank you so much for listening. I'd like to make the same offer you did; if you ever need someone to vent to, feel free to twitter DM me, seriously.)
