“You just try to get through the day. The small stuff—waiting on a bus, eating, having a simple conversation—is too much to bear, and you fight to make it through the next minute without screaming.

“It was now three a.m., the time when night pushes into morning, your chance at sleep gone, when you feel as if you’re the only one awake in the world.”
