I got into my first serious relationship with a man when I was twenty-three.

when you start to feel a little sad, anxious, or irritable it’s not the mood that does the damage but how you react to it. • the effort of trying to free yourself from a bad mood or bout of unhappiness – of working out why you’re unhappy and what you can do about it – often makes things worse. It’s like being trapped in quicksand – the more you struggle to be free, the deeper you sink.

And it caused them to be constrained in these terribly sad ways - their brilliance was not valued.
