    As a slightly masochistic psychonaut it’s crazy how I see someone with almost any mental illness/symptom and I don’t even question it, like I get it. I’ve been there. And I’m really glad I could come back, people are stuck there. It’s crazy that therapists and psychologists are spending years trying to understand something that can simply be experienced in a day. Even decades of study won’t give you the level of understanding that a single experience would.

      At an agency meeting once, we played “never have I ever” and one of them was “nhie gone a week without showering;” I was the only one who had, and I got some seriously judgmental looks

        Lmao, as someone struggling with mental health, that’s nothing, but I get it being frowned upon

        But yes, I don’t judge people on stuff like this. After all, what’s the point?

        And there was an exchange someone I saw that went like “I can’t imagine someone’s mental health being so bad they don’t shower for a week!”

        And the response was just “girl, some people’s mental health is so bad they kill themselves”
