Ci sono dolori che non lasciano lividi visibili, ferite che si annidano nellanima e lacerano piu profondamente di qualsiasi taglio. La depressione e lautolesionismo sono tra questi. Spesso sussurrati, altre volte completamente taciuti, essi crescono nel silenzio dellincomprensione e dello stigma, intrappolando chi ne soffre in unoscurita che sembra eterna. Questo libro nasce da unesperienza personale di perdita, dal profondo desiderio di dare voce a chi non ne ha piu, e di tendere una mano a chi, in questo preciso istante, si sente prigioniero/a di un dolore insostenibile. Non e un manuale medico, ne una soluzione miracolosa, ma piuttosto una guida empatica e un compagno di viaggio per chi si sente smarrito nel labirinto della sofferenza mentale. È un invito a riconoscere il buio, a comprenderlo, per poi trovare la forza di cercare la luce.
