That's a lot to process in a pretty short amount of time. What a rapid descent.

I don't mean that ^^^ -- but still, it feels almost like I'm being punished for being the "responsible" parent.
I've actually been thinking about this a LOT lately. Codie recovery seems so freaking unfair sometimes - there's no ROOM for it in Real Life.

It's awful to sometimes let our thoughts wander to ideas of voluntary lock-up & galling to think that it takes something akin to a "psychotic break" before we get to be taken seriously too.

I'm about over it myself - on my strong days I can let this roll off my back but sometimes it'd be amazing to be able to have a weak moment fully supported without it translating to "needing validation" or whatever other recovery-speak we want to throw at it.

Sometimes we just need a freaking hug.
