So I posted an article here describing my own mental illness, an illness very few have heard of including GPs.
It was the first time I'd ever heard anyone else describe symptoms exactly the same as I'd had for 20 years.
And the weirdest thing is that, at present, it's gone away.
I'm currently experiencing the world in all it's grubby realistic majesty. All the anxiety has gone, all the questioning my own sanity, all the doubting if I was even a sapient human being at all.
All gone. Like someone just flicked a switch.
And now I just feel like you.
It's really weird, everything now seems solid and obvious where before it continuously invited question.
How can reading an account of one's illness cure it magically?
And how long does it last?
