re: mh (-) ひきこもり
Wikipedia: "hikikomori (Japanese: ひきこもり or 引き篭もり, lit. 'pulling inward, being confined', i.e., 'acute social withdrawal'; colloquially/adaptive translation: 'shutter') are reclusive adolescents or adults who withdraw from social life, often seeking extreme degrees of isolation and confinement."
re: mh (-) ひきこもりsuicide mention
I've been trying to wrap my head around this disabling state I've been in for the last 18 months. And this is the first time I've come across something so descriptive of my current state.
I'm on disability right now and terribly isolated. A level of functioning I used to take for granted seems unattainable most days, and suicide ideation is frequent companion.
