    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    Until recently, when I pictured purgatory, it was with flames licking at my feet as I stared into the abyss, trying to avoid eye contact with the devil. I’m steering clear of bad boys these days. Turns out that purgatory is actually the clinical term for Sertraline onboarding. It began with the kettle becoming my nemesis. Usually the domestic talisman of energy and comfort, it became the yardstick against which I measured quite how sick I was feeling on a given day. How long it had even taken to

As all good romances do, it began with him sliding into my inbox after spotting my picture in our communal WhatsApp chat. He welcomed me to the area and offered to help with anything I might need. I forgot to reply to him for about a fortnight. Subscribe nowOur first conversational dalliance ended with me being turned off by the clear generational divide in our use of emojis.
