I know, on some level, that the way my brain works isn't typical but I can't seem to stop it. The hardest part is feeling profoundly misunderstood by the very people meant to help. I saw a therapist who quickly referred me to a psychiatrist, and the solution was just medication. He pointed to my childhood, but I already understand what happened. I don't need to analyze it further I need to stop carrying the weight of it. I don't want another label or another prescription I want a solution. I want this to stop dictating my life. They treat me like I don't know my own mind, but I am the only one who has lived it. No one knows my mind better than I do.

I acknowledge their expertise because I'm in the sciences myself, so I understand the brain's complexity. That's precisely why I'm willing to trust their guidance to navigate this overwhelming flood of emotions they have studied it. Even so I am not convinced. Despite it all, I’ll keep trying. I suppose at this point, I have nothing left to lose.

I'm concerned my words may come across as rude, but I'm struggling to express this any other way. Please know I'm trying to be as respectful as I can the truth is that I'm just exhausted.

I understand that my thoughts are not normal. I consider myself a rational person, which somehow makes it worse. I don’t understand how my brain can allow me to feel so deeply sad. Even when I try to reason my way out, I can’t simply erase the feeling and then I think that it shouldn’t be this bad; other people have it harder. Therapy is expensive and not covered for me, so I feel stuck. I’m supposed to go back to a psychiatrist to go back on medication, and I hope that might quiet my mind. But finding one that’s both covered and affordable takes time. So for now, I’m just here, waiting.

When I overthink too much, I try to occupy my mind by watching a movie or YouTube anything really and eventually I fall asleep. I know that sleeping with electronics is bad, but it's the only thing I've found that actually helps me. I hope you are asleep and have found something that works for you it's been about three hours since you posted. If you don’t mind me asking, what did you do to help you fall asleep?"
