Dear Joshua:
My name is Amy. I’m 44 years old and for the last 14 months I’ve been living in a mental institution. I’m here because I’m being treated for severe anxiety and depression.
Sometimes it gets so bad that I think I’m going to end my life. One thing I really look forward to though is reading your advice column. While most of what you write is pretty upbeat, I was wondering if you could write something special for me.
Perhaps you could tell me an upbeat story that will help rebuild my faith in humanity.
Thanks Joshua. I love you.
