I procrastinated fully/permanently shutting this blog down for a few years because I hoped one day I would come back to it, but the desire to publicly advocate and spread awareness of mental illness died during my worst depression and never returned.
Years of failed treatments eventually led to discovering that I am neurodivergent and I've gone more than 30 years without an accurate diagnosis which lead to extensive masking. I'm still figuring out exactly what this means for me specifically.
