Summer of Psychosis
Sypnosis
By the time I got here, the triumph of feeling of having met someone with a story like yours seemed to have vanished.
I met others, but it didn’t seem to move me anymore.
In the end, they didn’t give me a diagnosis. Which left me free. I read Helen Keller, I’m Unschooled: Yes I Can Write, and Share The World’s Resources, and I was liberated again from expectations.
