Oof. I love reading. I've spoken almost the exact same words when my friend called to ask what happened during my mental health crisis. I said "I lost the story and I need help writing a new one" I said. "I need space because I don't know who I am right now." You read and you know you've never really been alone in the ways that count. It's easy to ease into your own company when you know that.
