Fact: I am seriously contemplating ending my life. No one knows what's going on, or cares, but I feel it's important to talk about. I walked away from self-harm at least a dozen times last week, maybe more. I have no strong desire to actually carry it out, but we cannot "cure" the thoughts that … Continue reading Boiling Point

Maybe its lack of sleep, the weather, circumstances being what they are (I will explain at some point.), etc., but whatever it is, the combination has made me utterly unpleasant and sour. Two feelings that I can never seem to shake entirely. 😦 I forced myself to go to bed early last night, which was … Continue reading Feeling Sour

I've had roughly six pain-free hours in the past two weeks, so bear with me. I could never say "I hurt." enough. 😦 That's not even the appropriate terminology for what I've been experiencing, and I hate it. Pain isn't always physical. For me, it often is, but sometimes pain is also emotional. I don't … Continue reading Shutting Down

I woke up far too early this morning to a dark, grey day. Normally that wouldn't bother me (it rarely does), but it's the fact that the weekend is hanging over my head...the artifice of it darkening my mood. Under normal circumstances the weekend is a dear friend I welcome with open arms, but it … Continue reading Friday: The Dark Artifice

My physical, mental, & emotional agony trump a lot of other things at the moment. I'm, quite possibly, not clear-headed enough to write this properly, so please, bear with me. I'll correct anything that I post that needs to be fixed later on. I sit here terribly sleep-deprived, covered in varying degrees of bruises (some … Continue reading Never Underestimate The Pain
