Sorrow and depression are not proper guides to living—friends are.

What do you do with the voices in your head?

In Gaza, anxiety and depression has many different forms and causes.

Now, when I see a sunset, I think of her.

How can we return to ‘normal’ after COVID-19 when we’ve never been normal?

Depression seems to be my constant companion.

I have learned I have to fight for my rights.

I yearn for a refuge that feels like home.

I sink in the abyss and stare at my demons.

Everything was stacked against Yahya; what hope did he have?

I have left Gaza, but my demons followed.

Each house in Gaza has a suffering soul inside.
