And the day I woke up with this injury, I quite literally felt my soul leave my body. Like I'm so serious.

[00:00:23]It was the most unbelievable inorganic thing I've ever experienced, and it's a common symptom of people who have this condition.

[00:00:31]Um to this day, it's been years for me.

[00:00:39]Um [snorts] I can't feel connection or love for my friends.
