MAC Awake

Megz is an adult-ish human trying to navigate her muchness. She reads, naps, and puts people to sleep for a living. While Whispers was started as a medical blog for her own debriefing, it has now become a place for book reviews, opinions, medical news, and really just anything she cares to write.

Do I contradict myself?

Very well then I contradict myself,

(I am large, I contain multitudes.)

Love someone with mental illness?
Get comfortable not being able to fix them.
Get comfortable not knowing why they’re ill.
Get comfortable just supporting them.

You can’t fix them. And if you try, you become one more person to disappoint; one more thing to feel guilty about.
