Daphne has had her fair share of struggles. OCD, depression, and anxiety hold her hand as she goes through her daily life, percolating the other aspects of her life and personality. But she finds herself enjoying the struggle sometimes. Hers is a story of failed meditations, self-pity, and above all slight narcissism mixed with a tinge of suicidal jokes and sarcasm. Time to meet the daily quota for defensiveness. This is the ultimate un-love story.
