Thank you so much for this. What you write rings true for me. When I was enmeshed in social justice culture, I was encouraged to embrace my "madness" and part of that involved emotional intensity. This was celebrated which has left me with a complex around taking medication that I need vs embracing my true, unstable and unhappy, self. Still recovering from that so hearing others talk about similar experiences is very valuable. Thanks again.
This was a very interesting and new take on the whole “empath” angle. Thank you!
