Content notes for suicide, self harm, eating disorders, etc.
The short version is that I've spent most of my life being emotionally abused, was traumatised by attempting to reconcile being a massive queer with religion, briefly developed an eating disorder and still sometimes have difficulty with food; developed a serious chronic illness and nobody noticed for six years (and told me I was making it up, to boot); and my depression is massively progesterone-sensitive, so menstruating was awful even without the pain. Also, SAD. And then in November 2011 my Master's project was going to hell, a friend I seriously looked up to and was getting a lot of support from killed himself, a week later another friend died in a car crash, and I developed pneumonia. At which point I... went off the deep end, for reasons I suspect are obvious.
Obviously there's a lot I'm missing out there, but... that's the overview. :-p
