1/ If someone’s whole thing is to deny you your good, it’s a situation you come to understand and expect and you get your hope and adrenaline from trying to fight it.

2/ But if someone says they want to help you but then they start dispensing what you need to survive in the smallest drip drip drip, going on endlessly about how they might do this or that but it might take a few years but then again they might not do it, it’s even more painful.

3/ No pol should tell us they understand there’s a mental health crisis & they really want to help. What they need is to recognize how many govt policies are so borderline cruel as to make it less and less possible for millions of people to hold on. Those policies ARE the crisis.
