Oh yeah there's definitely a lot of personal experience. My entire mom's side of the family has been battling mental health issues for generations so it was always something that had a chance of happening. My little brother is the same way. I've got an expansive background of self-harm and depression and am crippled on a daily basis by an ever-growing fear of mortality that will one day swallow me whole.You've kinda beaten me to it with your post but I was going to ask whether you had a background in mental health from a professional standpoint. It was that or you have personal experienceor you're some kind of savant at channeling damaged people.
So I must create things to combat that!
I must grow!
Like a tree!
