"Sometimes the darkness seems too much, the weight you carry threatens to crush you, and optimism becomes a foggy abstraction."

Borderline personality disorder has thrown his life into a state of unbearable pain and constant instability. Piece by piece, emotional turmoil and addiction chips away at his psyche, triggering a downward spiral into a pit of hopelessness and despair.
