Imperfect Inside Scott M Sullivan

When an already terrible day sours, Sean finds himself looking over the edge of a twenty-four-story fall, resolute to free himself of the pain brought on by living.
Sean's attempt to end it all is halted at the very last second by an odd man with a proposal that Sean has little choice but to accept.
He is to help others with their own lives; a new profession that he is completely ill-equipped for. The thin strands of Sean's own life begin to unwind the deeper he digs in his new tasks. A sickly-looking man that only he can see, worsening nightmares that seem more real than not, and an increasing belief that he is going clinically insane push Sean to a point where he questions what is real and what is not.
He will find meaning in the meaningless, and discover how deep the roots of his own problems go. For only then can Sean truly find happiness in an unhappy existence.

This fictional novel deals with the powerful disease of depression, and its negative ramifications in everyday life. The story and characters within the book's pages are completely fictional. The emotions and power of the disease, however, are quite real, and gleaned from various sufferers. It would be naïve to think that depression can be cured in a manner put forth in Imperfect Inside; it's simply not realistic. That is what fiction's about, though: sending you on a journey, making you think, or simply providing entertainment.
If you know of someone suffering from depression, be kind and supportive to them. Sometimes a little can mean a lot.
