Thank you for your courage! This is what we need. True, genuine and honest stories from people with mental health issues. To demystify and destigmatize the entire topic. Everybody happily runs to the doctors to get antibiotics/antivirals for their simple cold and everybody literally "loves* to complain about how bad they feel when having a cold. But even today in the year 2021, very few people dare to go public with their "mental cold" or their "mental cancer". The danger of mockery or discrimination is still far to high. All the best, Kyle and good luck! :-) -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
