It’s been 4 months now since Stephanie went away. At this point, it’s pretty much a given that she won’t be coming back.
So what happened to her? Where is she?
Read on for the answer, without any euphamisms, jokes, or metaphors.
[TL;DR: Steph had a ‘breakdown’ in November 2017, and recovery is going to take a long time. Also, legal name change in April 2018, now known as Violet.]
[CW: Mental Health issues]
“Oh the heck with it. Here’s what’s going on.
Some time ago, my ‘internal monolog’ split into [a few] distinct personalities, each with their own name & identity.”
“So, last night I had a wierd mental meltdown, faced a bunch of issues I’ve been trying to avoid. Not sure who I am right now. My personality & behavior have been changing for 2 years, and I suddenly feel like I’m losing myself / becoming someone else.”
“All I want is to drink tea, and I don’t know how I got here.”
“Fucking celery. That’s my treat for doing 73 minutes of cardio.”
“ And it worked. This is damn good celery.”
“In other news, I don’t know who I am or what became of the real Stephanie.”
“Lately I’ve been getting lonely. It’s new for me… past 45 years I was just fine with being alone.
Maybe it’s an age thing.
Or a phase.”
“Solved my dinner dillema. I am eating celery. For dinner. It is surprisingly crunchy considering how long it has been in my fridge! ”
“I have immediate access to chilled wine, fancy cheese, and tasty crackers. Yet I willingly chose celery and I am enjoying it. ”
“How do I know if I’ve been replaced by an alien doppelganger?”
