Where do I begin?

I had the opportunity to speak with a published author recently. I told her, I am not a writer, I have no formal training, but I want to share my story. She asked me: ” What is the reason for your writing?” “Do you want to make money?” I thought “Who doesn’t want to make money?” But, my reason for writing is probably therapeutic in nature. I also hope that by telling my story, I could provide hope for other people. Inspiration to go on, and to show people that you really, truly only need yourself for success in this life. I also have a lot of anger in me. I have been battling depression and anxiety since I was a child. I’ve been on every SSRI invented. I have seen a therapist on and off since I was 6 years old. But, I am tired. They say depression is anger turned inward, and I think my inside threshold for anger is at capacity. Who isn’t depressed these days? Who isn’t anxious? Who isn’t in therapy or taking medication? Therapy should be mandatory for all humans, in my opinion. But, let me stick to the theme. The theme is, you only need you. I can prove it.
