I’m like this and recently found out I have OCD, I’ve also personally had the worst things and best things in my life happen side by side twice now so I understand what she’s saying entirely.

It's also a "I have an incurable disease" thing. I have the same autoimmune disease she does (lupus; along with a few other ailments, because they do tend to accumulate) and it's crazy what it can do to your outlook on life. I remember being obsessed with the life expectancy percentages when I got diagnosed. When I reached five years, it felt like a miracle lol.
