Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- On top of the actual problem there’s this lonely conviction that I’m the only one who falls apart like this, that everyone else has it together
- I’ve gone quiet on everyone
- Some days go by where I never once actually connect with another human
- My partner has become so much a part of the furniture of my life that I barely register them anymore, and I catch myself being short or distracted
