Deep into the darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before.” – Edgar Allan Poe
Obsessive inner voice that doesn’t let you be at peace. Pulling you back into your head. At times it feels like being a prisoner. It feels like drowning in thick slime, dark and cold.
And yet, at the end of the day, despite your inner suffering, you have to put your mask on, your uniform nice and clean, and get out. Go to work, school, for a meeting, walk the dog, shopping. Duties call.

We are not alone in this.
