[s0:5] Patient
honestly ive felt like this on and off for years and kind of pushed it down. but the last 5 weeks or so its really taken over. every time i think im coming out of it i realise im not, it feels like something deeper than just being sad
[s0:7] Patient
most days at least once. some days i just cant stop and i dont even know what im crying about. the sadness feels almost physical which ive never had before
[s0:17] Patient
most of the time its like a 3 or 4 that just sits there, but on a really bad day which is a lot of days lately its an 8
[s0:9] Patient

[s0:21] Patient
