I hypothesize that...RoboT...was depressed or had clinical anxiety at one point in his life. I don't know that he would qualify now, he seems pretty mentally healthy. But I also know that he's been in therapy forever.
I know about his trauma history. It's been helpful in some moments and unhelpful in others. I've felt both empowered knowing that I'm not the only person in the world who deals with things like I have, but I've also had the caretaker response kick in.
