it's strange how purely through the existence
of my mental issues and symptoms alone,
I am able to find comfort.
because I know I wasn't faking it.
that I wasn't exaggerating.
that no matter how many times I was told,
I'm not oversensitive
you can't take these symptoms.
you can't fake the feeling
of not trusting your own mind,
feeling like you are completely unreliable.
you can't fake the fear I feel.
the panic attacks and the flashbacks
I experienced
through my pain and suffering alone,
I find comfort in knowing
that I wouldn't be this fucked up unless something happened to me.
