dark emotional tense fast-paced

insanity, hysteria, laziness.

everything a woman is accused of having before giving her a proper treatment for depression, especially if she recently had a baby, the domesticity of her life, the changes in her body, feeling like her value has been reduced or exchanged for only her ability to have children, for caring for a house and her man.

women need their own life too, we need to express ourselves, to have hobbies, to have a space of our own.
but most of the time when we try to have what we want we’re treated as insane and outlaws.

such a beautiful depiction of female madness and depression.
