Yeah, the modern society teaches us that if we have any problems, be it health, financial or anything else, it’s all fixable and we are supposed to fix it. Yet there is so much we don’t have control over. Mental health problems are especially hard to tackle, as there are so few options, they are expensive, time consuming and often don’t really help.

That’s what my partner used to say to me before he got the diagnosis. It sounded as if he never had any thoughts in his head. It put a strain on our relationship too, because he used to answer this those times I noticed he wasn’t listening while I was talking and asked what he was thinking about. Sometimes it seemed like he didn’t care at all.

Turns out he has too many thoughts in his head, and “nothing” was indeed the easiest answer. I guess it doesn’t really matter what the truth is to a random person, but it does matter to your friends and family.
