Great message. This was a really moving and powerful piece. I'm sorry for your friend and for your struggles. Glad to hear that you've seen some improvements.
I've read a dark personal story of yours before, and yet when I click on your profile to look for a new piece to read, I think of you as being full of fun and laughter. Your writing tells me that even though you have so much to deal with, you are a strong person who finds and brings people happiness.
Fantastic writing.
