I wouldn't say you're broken, because if you are then I have to admit I'm broken in the same way ๐
Whether we like it or not, this disease is a part of us both and learning to manage and live with it is an integral part of our lives. You'll find what works for you one of these days, but the important thing is to not give up and keep trying. To me though, what you describe in your post sounds a little more like depression (Something I also have a great deal of personal experience with).
