Please be patient with me as I accept and navigate my new reality
Please be patient with me, this suggested diagnosis is difficult to swallow -- as much as I know it fits, it answers so many questions -- as much as it's almost epiphanic in its simplicity
Please be patient with me, I truly thought I knew what was going on
Please be patient with me, the path through "severe depression" cannot be rushed
Please be patient with me -- I know you're used to my highs, my "everything's fine"s, my ability to know the bright side of everything
Please be patient with me -- I, too, am used to those highs, that vantage point
Please be patient with me, the realisation that it's all been a cover, a facade over something deep, something tumultuous -- is difficult for me to handle
Please be patient with me as I (again) work to rebuild myself
Please be patient with me as I struggle with the amount of work still yet to be done.... especially when I feel I've come so far
Please be patient with me as my own patience, my sense of self, are battered and torn and shredded
Please be patient with me as I search for the right words, the definitions, the explanations, the realisations that I hope will serve me well in communicating what I, myself, don't understand
Please be patient with me as I struggle
