The doctor's eyes under his wide rims also sported deep purple eye bags from exhaustion. You've been his patient for a long time now as in your area, resources are limited and he wishes to do his best. His office has been a safe space for you and your insomnia since it began manifesting. He gave you the right medications, treatments, and legitimate advice that websites could not. That and he had a warm aura that made this pain feel validated.
