I feel like I'm beyond repair because my inability to treat my illness and muster up the courage to face my trauma makes me unfixable. Being a broken human makes me worthless to humanity, in fact my illness makes me a literal poison to the gene pool that should be cleansed from it before I infect it further by either procreating or projecting the same sickness that my father projected onto me.

Who cares about being worthless to humanity? Have you ever committed genocide? Raped anyone? Embezzled millions? Humanity is worthless to each other all by themselves.

Saw an article on the BBC website earlier saying that about half of people who are on antidepressants experience withdrawals when coming off them, and of those, half of them will describe their symptoms as severe.

Medication is a risky business.

Unlike therapy it usually does something
