Don't Dissociate

Another day of fighting to not slip and fall apart. It's a constant battle to not let your guard down. Psychotic episodes still happen which make it especially tough to protect yourself. If you don't, you'll just fall apart. We don't want to feel scared all the time and have no idea of where we are or what's going on.

We're doing the right things.
You have to protect yourself.

Protect your well being.
