Gasping Quote by Lynn
“Iàswear I was doing okay, I was getting better. I made so much progress. I was almost happy. I don't know what happened. Something went wrong, and now I find myself gasping for breath, and my wrist's are bleeding again. And I don't know when it happened. But I started losing my mind again. I think I'm missing pieces of myself, and I don't know how to find them.”
