I've also met people trapped in cope and medicate cycles. Not making any changes except working double shifts or becoming isolated and making massive charts and diagrams of their daily routine who fly off the handle if they don't get their single specifically prepared egg down to the pan it was cooked in at exactly 6:30am every morning.
Like I completely understand why. But am truly helpless as they are to break them gently away from that brokenness. Like they hurt you. Over cast iron vs poached in a steel pan. These people have all of the material resources they need but none of the knowledge or wisdom or personal support. Drugs failed them.
They need a safe environment. And supervision.
