Lin Wantang, a 32-year-old architectural designer, has everything that is enviable in the eyes of outsiders: decent job, stable relationship, and glamorous appearance. However, no one knew that she was experiencing a silent collapse in her heart.
From the initial insomnia and inexplicable fatigue, to the gradual loss of the ability to feel happiness, to the complete swallowing of darkness - this novel will lead readers into the real and delicate inner world of patients with depression. Through Lin Wantang's perspective, we will witness her complete journey from denial and resistance to acceptance of treatment: the details of her unspeakable symptoms, the repeated torture caused by drug side effects, the process of peeling off the wounds layer by layer in psychotherapy, the subtle connection with her fellow patients during hospitalization, and how to relearn the lesson of "living" in reality after discharge.
This is a story of falling and climbing, and a letter to all those struggling in the dark: you are not alone.
