You DO have awful symptoms, even though you force yourself to function despite them. Even though you drag yourself to university and stuff. You report a lot of dissociation, pretty bad SH, chronic and acute physical stuff too. A few local people I know (those that talk openly) who approach that level end up taking extended sick leave off work or they ward themselves, or they do freelance work because full-time isn't possible for them.

Those few I know who do manage everything (job, school, often both together) still tend to...uh...have dissociative disorders...and they kinda grit through everything. That's just my experience and of course I don't know everyone in the world, just talking about my under 30 year old friends/peers/acquaintances.

I don't have as severe the level of symptoms I used to have ever since I landed on a suitable med combo and started seeing current T almost 3 years ago. I really hope you can experience something like that *hugs*

Also one day I want a Labrador to love
