Control Freak? OR Survivor? Perceive me as you will.

As I wrote just days ago on this blog, I felt so rock-bottom. I was  in despair and horribly confused. I've had many episodes like that, some much worse and I accept my condition and the way it makes me feel. I know that these things will happen from time to time but thankfully, it happens…
