I have an American E-pal who is also a struggling mental-patient.
Though she has access to better health care and support, she remains very understanding of my situation.

I tell her everything that is in my mind - Unedited.
It was in her strong opinion that I'm not ready to function 'outside' and needs to spend more time 'recovering'.

I know she means well.
I also know that she'd agree with me that

in the 'world' I'm living,

there's no patience nor understanding sufficient enough

for me to take time off for 'recovery'.
