I've
convinced
myself
that
I
have
toxic
shock syndrome
and
am
about
to
die
of
kidney
failure
despite
having
almost
none
of
the
symptoms.

everything
i
love
dies
with
its
eyes
wide
open
,
and
i
am
powerless
to
intervene.

My
mind
insists
that
the
headache
starting
behind
my
eyes
is
the
result
of
a
brain
eating
parasite.

epitome of incomprehensibility
"
I'm
trying
to
do
everything
."
I'm
not
trying
to
do
literally
everything
.
"
I'm
such
a
failure
."
No
,
because
not
everything
falls
easily
into
the
categories
of
"
failure
"
or
"success."
As
for
the
things
you
*
can
*
put
in
those
boxes,
a
person's
life
will
include multiple successes
and
failures
.
You
cannot
*
be
*
a
failure
.
Or
a
success.
(
I
can
logic
these
thoughts
into
submission,
yes
,
but
my
feelings
don't
always
care
about
the
facts. Oftentimes,
I'll
still
feel
like
a
failure
or
like
I
have
too
much
to
do
.)

I
find
the
same
thing
about
intrusive
thoughts
, eoi.
I
can
logically
reject
them
but
it
often
does
nothing
to
make
them
go
away
.
I
have
better
luck
with
letting
them
have
their
say
and
then
returning
to
the
truth
that
they
don't
define
me
.
They
are
a
weather
system
and
I
am
the
sky
.
They
are
passing
through
.
