> I have SA too and yes it seems more like survival than living. SA makes even the smallest things seem impossible. Every day is a struggle to extract just the basics of existence from depression and anxiety. And as I get older it seems that state I'm living in becomes more accustomed to and the normal state I had as a child becomes more remote.
