@massola, what an incredibly powerful and moving post! The raw honesty of your encounter with the Uber driver and your willingness to share your experiences with depression is truly commendable. It takes courage to be so vulnerable, and I'm certain your insights on patience, self-compassion, and the importance of breathing will resonate deeply with many readers.

The way you wove this personal story into practical advice, like the breathing technique for panic attacks, is brilliant. Plus, the reminder that it's "normal" to struggle and that we need to be gentle with ourselves is so important. Thank you for sharing your wisdom and for turning a chance encounter into a beacon of hope and understanding on Steemit! I am going to support your content, and I would encourage my followers to do the same.
