"To live with a mental health disorder feels as if you’re going through an existential awakening every quarter, and maybe more if you’re unable to manage symptoms."

Relating to this so hard.

My main struggle presently is DID, which is a constant reshuffling of everything I ever think I know or understand. I've broken up with lots of therapists. All of them. It can feel very isolating. We work very hard to build those bridges.

Thank you for sharing.

Thank you for giving this a read. I know how hard it can be, and definitely feel like there are some major misunderstandings when it comes to mental health. Thank you for being vulnerable about that.

I have ADHD and probably autism, and I relate deeply with this post. Every month I’m discovering something “new” about myself that resets some of what I know about myself.

Thank you for sharing that, seriously. It's not easy to live with, and I'm glad I can bring a point of view to the topic
