On March 9, 2020, I experienced a complete mental breakdown. For my entire life I have been able to hold the demons of my mental illnesses at bay, but I've since learned that the past is cumulative. The human mind can only contain the darkness for so long. At some point, the reservoir will overflow and the dam will break. I am adrift in a flood of my own making. I must now face my fears and put the past to rest. I am hoping that this diary will serve to help repair my broken psyche and enable me to find my way back to shore.
