Well, *uck, I hear you on the DSM and applaud your critique loudly. I think getting my psychiatric certification pushed me further away from its artifices and there are so few of us in this profession willing to embrace a different vision that doesn’t pathologize “normal.” Or try to medicate it for profit. (Not a knock on ethical prescribing!)
I am proud of you turning toward the thing, the loss, the gaping gap. To feel it, as gd difficult and incomprehensible it can be…it was for me too. I love you dearly and am with you.
Oof, so nice to read your words. I’m right there with you in grief. I lost my mother in September and this has proven to be harder than I imagined. The world is not the same without her by my side. Sending you lots of love from afar.
Grateful to hear from you and holding your hand across the miles. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and reflections, which are powerful and valuable even if you doubt they are. Also “Not Great, Bob!” is said aloud at LEAST once a week in my house as well. Love you, friend.
