I don't know if this is right, and I doubt it but I've always thought this song is like an extended metaphor for living with depression or anxiety. As someone who suffers from both, I kinda get it to mean like being allergic to water is like being allergic to the fundamental parts of living, being un able to do really typical things like washing and baiting, being like when you have anxiety and not being able to go out the house, or having depression and not being able to get out of bed. particularly the line This is me, sincerely, Doin' the best that I can'. Honestly, that line is so powerful, because if it's about what I think it is shes saying even though it doesn't look like I'm doing much, and that I'm not trying hard I really really am.
Idk, it's just the meaning I get out of it. I might be way off.
