The plain fact is that despite having clawed my way into the ranks of the petit bourgeois, I can't seem to get my head out of survival mode. I might have gotten mine, but I could lose it all with a single mistake. Hell, I could do everything right and still lose, and nobody would give a shit because I'm privileged.
Therapy hasn't helped. And I'm not so privileged that I can easily access effective mental health services, let alone afford them.
