Feeling "other" because of mental illness and the fear of constantly having to explain myself or forever be misunderstood. Spoiler: it's not that black & white.
The resonated so much with me as I went through recovery and the mental chaos that ensues. I find myself leaning more towards it lately, which is surprising since I’ve been in a good place for so long (literally months without negative thoughts about my body! None!). I suppose I stepped on the lower rung of the conveyer belt at some point.

Ooph. I feel this. Proud of you for the recognition and noticing that you took that step--what might help you get back off?
