Hi everyone, thank you all so much for the support you have shown this article, which I hoped would resonate with some, but didn't expect would get this much engagement.

With that engagement comes tons of notifications (literally), more than I can keep up with, combined with those from other articles, so if I have missed a comment, or a reply to a comment, I am truly sorry. I try to respond to every comment I see, but sometimes, some slip through the cracks, since seeing that '99+' figure on the notification bell is itself intimidating.

Remember, you can always reach me with comments about an article, or even with general mental health-related remarks and questions, at thechandrayangupta@gmail.com. Unless Google sends it to the spam list, I see new e-mails fairly quickly.
