Some days it feels like there’s an invisible picc line pumping liters of poison through my veins. My blood boils, my mind reels, my hands shake. I can feel my nervous system trying to catch up–attempting to normalize amidst the chaos and confusion…But it can’t quite get there.

That’s the best explanation I have for how i’ve felt for the better part of the last decade.
