Trigger warning

Water

I’m not coping and I’m not going to be able to cope. 

I have lost my fertility chance window 

I have been traumatised by people who are strangers outside.

I have had my life ripped apart 

I have been isolated 

I have had no recovery time from long term medications

I have had strangers destroy me and my life.

i was isolated on my flat taking meds and walked out the door to strangers saying things to me.

I have been exploited by strangers and I have a diagnosis and was so ill from medications.
