"It's like a gnawing, the tug of a rope wrapped around the end of my esophagus. There's a man down there and he wants food, but the only way he knows to ask for it is to tug on the rope, and when he does, it closes up the entrance so I can't put anything in. If he would just relax, let the rope go, I'd be able to give him all the food he wanted."
A funny, gripping, awesome, real account of depression in a fifteen year old boy. After wanting to commit suicide, he checks himself into an (adult) psychiatric ward of a hospital for five days. a book that I wish that I'd had at sixteen.
