Message from The Musician: I wrote this to apologize to all the people who were affected by my struggles with depression, anxiety, and eating disorder. One of the hardest parts about mental illness is that you hate yourself, but the only thing you want to do is think about yourself 24/7. This is something that I still struggle with, and I hope that this piece illustrates that feeling of guilt that comes along with having a mental illness.
