“You Look Melancholy and Tense,” Said My Therapist (but That’s Just My Face).

My History of Mental Illness and Health.

This was a while back. My hair isn’t blue and white anymore, but that tight, defensive look on my face apparently is how I always look(?) because I’ve now had two separate therapists tell me I appear stricken when I’m feeling calm. Cool, cool. Resting stress face, we’ll call it.
