Story. Of. My. Life.
In an inpatient program at 27, diagnosed with anaclitic depression. If they know what it is, I thought, they can treat it!
Hahaha hahaha HAHAHAHAHA! no.
At best, basket cases like me can manage our symptoms. We can develop habits to make them less common, and get ourselves safe and go into self-care mode when they're triggered. Or when the abyss beckons.
On the other hand, all of society is crazy too. And I know some of the paths in the labyrinth.
