Being sick with mental health sucks.

If it ain’t the illness keeping you down, it’s the meds. It’s always something. Then you feel good for one whole day and then the next day it’s back to depression, or having a panic attack, or voices, or whatever. It’s just such a fckn struggle. And my agoraphobia and anxiety has ramped up since I’ve been home due to losing my job and covid. Fckn ridiculous.
Newtus, you just described exactly how I feel. Zackly. But you are not a fraud or impostor. That is bull#@$!. You have a badass brain disease that is incurable and has very li.ited rx options. You are doing great and you are my personal freaking hero. Huge hugs.

We must just do what we can when we can. It is going to take longer to write right now. Stop being pissed and accept it. This is our brains. It is te deck we got dealt. And you are a hero.
