Yeaaaahhh. The only way for me to cope with Everything™ is to be partly dissociated all the time so I can function without being crushed by how overwhelmed I am by the endless ways humans find to hurt each other.

Every single time someone asks me how I'm doing I can physically feel the depersonalization as I backslide gently into a smile and a "I'm all good, how 'bout you?"
