Dear G:

You recently graduated university but with a low GPA. You have never been employed, and you are in your early twenties, I am guessing. You live with your parents. While in university you suffered from inflamed and highly reactive bowels which caused you a massive loss of weight as well as temporary (or permanent?) hair loss. As well as the distress which brought about your low GPA.

You wrote earlier about listening to music: “the music just makes me feel even more upset and reminds me of the life I used to have. I was a brilliant person and everyone believed I would accomplish great things. Now, here I sit, trying to pick up the pieces of what is left”-

– before I continue, I need to ask: who told you that you are “a brilliant person” before you got sick, and who  is “everyone” in “everyone believed I would accomplish great things”?
