Thank you! Sorry for the late reply, I had a full work schedule for three days in a row that left me exhausted, but I'm really glad to come back to this and see all the appreciation. Yeah, mental health is a fraught topic and over all our society does a terrible job talking about it, even when it's not ignoring it!
"Believing in a category is such a normal person mind-trap." One line of many that really resonated with me. I'm curious of your usage of the word "crazy." It seems like a big concept, and I would really appreciate knowing what led you to choose it specifically.
Thanks so much, it really means a lot that you find what I do helpful! I guess the piece ends with a more pessimistic view of writing, but if we're not writing in a void, if it's in conversation with each other and our lives, that feels better.
I like the symmetry between this piece and last week’s: We are all behind bars and none of us is well under capitalism.
Thank you for sharing this. There's so much gibberish out there on "mental health". This was actually insightful and real. Deep appreciation! <3

Thanks and no worries on timing of reply (or any reply!) Hope you can do things that refuel you!
This is really brilliant. Thank you!
