‘I Hoped My Insurance Company Wouldn’t Find Out’

Seth Fischer in the Rumpus, writing about his mental health STUFF, and writing about it well: “My first reaction to my shrink mentioning PTSD was that I hoped my insurance company wouldn’t find out. Then I thought of worse things that have happened to people I’ve known or loved, that my list [of horrors I’d lived through] didn’t count because it’s not as horrible, because there is always something more horrible.”
