I‘ve not related to something this much in a long time. I‘ve been treated as a traitor for this so often all over my life. I can’t believe that someone actually has a theory about this that is not esoteric in some way.

You are absolutely right! I have a psychiatrist, but maybe I should see a psychologist as well 🤔? I'm also on antidepressants, perscribed by the psychiatrist. They're not really strong, but still, I needed them. There was a time when I had the worst insomnia, staying awake for days at a time, then comatosing for 12, 14 hours.

Anyhow, I will mist definitely talk with someone who might diagnose (partially at least) why I am like I am.

Thank you! ☺️
