		<description><![CDATA[The other night I went to be ok. I woke up at midnight in a downswing. It&#8217;s ridiculous. What on earth is going on with my brain! This illness is hard.
I talked myself out of it. &#8220;It&#8217;s an illness Julie. This isn&#8217;t real Julie. Life isn&#8217;t that bad. It&#8217;s depression.&#8221;
And I woke up ok.
Julie
