Everyone is crazy, but only some of us admit it!
Very powerfully written. It's so difficult to write about deep personal experiences like this, but you managed to put it across so lucidly. It might seem flippant to say we're all crazy, but trying to conform to what "society" demands of us can make us literally ill, as the mental state certainly affects the physical state. It's so interesting to read how you pulled yourself out of it, which many people never succeed in doing.
