Was challenged to tell a short story in 2 1/2 minutes about mental illness and coming to the boiling point of having to face an onslaught of medications, and then boiling over. This piece of music comes from my own experiences with anxiety, and depression and arriving at that boiling point. I am beyond grateful to all those who helped get me through that, and finally having some peace that came from a (very) late in life diagnosis of autism and ADHD (or AuDHD for short…or the all encompassing “neuro-spicy”). The work on self is a life long pursuit, but having a much improved sense of self, and focused awareness is priceless.
