Ladyhawke's Anxiety
Great interview -- super insightful and well written! Just a thought, torilee: I suffer from depression, but when I use the word 'suffer' I don't use it negatively or as a negative term, y'know? I can't speak for Heidi, obvs, but I reckon that she probably was just using it in the same way: to be diagnosed with any mental illness or neurological difficulty is, in a sense, to 'suffer' from it. You can say you 'suffer' from depression or anxiety or Asperger's without it necessarily being somehow negative, I think. Because, in a sense, you do 'suffer' -- it causes you discomfort and difficulty etc and that is, by nature, to suffer.
