I need some help with something: do you know the game taboo? Like you're trying to explain something without using the word itself (and in the card version of the game there's a list of 5 related words), forcing you to use related terms. Or rather, instead of just plugging in synonyms, it forces you to strip something down to basic components and use a different way of thinking about it.
Anywho, I've been trying to put some words to stuff. and the following toot has some questions:

@Erik @joop I recently read an interesting blog post by LE Modesitt on the implications of feeling insignificant, and how when that feels insurmountable for people you find the highest rates of hospitalization for mental health emergencies.
I think that idea may play into the issue you're discussing. As someone who was once hospitalized for a similar reason, exacerbated by b/c pills, I will say that brain chemistry also plays a role, though.
