People Assume…

Quote 2016-09-22 Miss Poison Quotes Chronic Pain, Emm Roy, Emotional Pain, Invisible Illness, Pain, Quotes, Stigma

"People assume you aren’t sick unless they see the sickness on your skin, like scars forming a map of all the ways you’re hurting. My heart is a prison of 'Have you tried's? Have you tried exercising? Have you tried eating better? Have you tried not being sad, not being sick? Have you tried being … Continue reading People Assume…

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

2015 has been many things for me, but it's hard, at the moment, to say it's been kind. That would be a lie. Granted, there are pluses and minuses to every day, week, month, and year. It hasn't all been bad, but it's been hard times a million. We've all experienced this in some capacity … Continue reading Here’s What I’ve Learned

Another night of barely present sleep has me sitting here stressed. I should be boxing things up in my bathroom or going through my closet, but it's cold, even with the heat on, the wind is insane, and I think I have to give myself a break today. From the neck down, everything hurts. If … Continue reading It’s Normal And It’s Okay

All I Want Is A Nap…For Now

2015-10-03 Miss Poison Emotional Pain, Pieces Of Me, Writing Emotional Pain, October, Pieces Of Me, Poison In Lethal Doses, Writing

I packed for nearly eleven hours today. That's a record for me with Fibromyalgia, because the last time I had to make a big move, I flat-out shut down emotionally (and physically) and hired a moving company. This time, I am doing every damn thing by myself. You know where you stand with your friends … Continue reading All I Want Is A Nap…For Now

It's utterly surreal how much my life has changed in the last eight years. I set out on a specific course, reached a major fork in the road, chose a direction, a dream, and now I am starting over with a dream I've somehow managed to keep hidden in the back of my mind, all … Continue reading Beginnings, Endings, and New Beginnings

I'm a pretty dark person. I have a wicked sense of humor and I'll say anything goofy to make someone laugh, but when it's my life, there isn't a lot I perceive as humorous. I'm not the kind of person who laughs at someone else's pain or who enjoys hearing about someone's breakups, divorces, illnesses, … Continue reading Pull The Covers Up And Leave Me Alone

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uelHwf8o7_U Once upon a time, in an extremely bizarre reality, I was in a relationship I should not have been in.

I think it's really important to listen to others and hear them, even if the subject matter makes you uncomfortable. I don't like to denounce someone's feelings, even if I disagree with their perspective. People say that words aren't harmful, but they can be and it's important to acknowledge that even the simplest way of … Continue reading Do Not Confuse…
