Our Lady of Solitude
When she finally broke down, it wasn't the way she expected it to be.
She'd always thought breakdowns were sloppy, loud, desperation oozing out of every pore.
Instead, when it happened, it was quiet. It was over sleeping, not showering because it
took too much energy. It was not returning phone calls because the thought of talking made
her tired. It was too many nights falling asleep on her couch, too many days when she
couldn't focus on the questions she was answering. It was losing her edge, her smile, her
wit.
When she finally broke down, no one noticed.
