This was such a thorough and excellent piece Hollie - I think I'm the type 1, and yet you helped me realize I don't think I suffer much from the syndrome, as realistically - this is a new area for me: writing. You helped me realize the parts that are healthy and helped me question some "why's" that I need to answer...
Loved your conclusion: it truly aims to be authentic. Thanks for writing this - thanks for reminding me to give myself the license to be who I am regardless of what others perceive.
I would have loved and benefitted to have read this months ago!!! But still found great value in it today - thank you!🌅
