I never said my suffering was better or worse than anybody else's. It is what it is.

I also didn't ask for this, just like that starving African child didn't ask for what he or she is going through. I appreciate having food and shelter; for a long time this year both those were in question for me and I know how awful it is. But no, it's not enough, at least not for me. I would like to be able to live a life free of the mental illness I did not ask for and do not want. It impedes my quality of life, just as the lack of food impedes that starving African child's life. But you know what? I can't do anything about that kid. I'm responsible for taking care of myself. Call me selfish.
