I am fortunate to have grown up in a household that was not abusive. Unfortunately, that has not allowed me the "pleasant privilege" of living life in ignorance of the many ways people can mistreat each other. That naivete was ripped from me long ago.
Like others, I spend an inordinate amount of my life simply trying to live. I have not succeeded in finding any real degree of happiness within myself, and I think the best I'll ever be able to do is try to avoid causing sadness for others. Unfortunately, I have failed all too often even at that, and I know enough about my own failures to recognize situations that may be hurtful to others.
I can talk about symptoms and meds, but I find it very difficult to discuss how badly I've failed to make something meaningful of my life. If I'm not contributing anything meaningful here, it is simply a reflection of my daily life.
