this is beautiful. I am so glad you are here. And that last paragraph? Yes.

I’m mad cool, yo! Let’s do it!

This is a thing that must happen!

I’m writing a column about how hard it is to find the right docs.

Yup. I’ve been given the strong ancestors speech. I’ve also been told that I can “afford” to be depressed.

Some parts of CrazyTown actually does have meetings. Because it’s not as singular in vision as 12-step programs, your mileage may vary. I’ve been to meetings in my area and I liked it.
