Quote by Shylass
I went out today. It was horrible.
One of the most beautiful places where I live, and it was so horribly beautiful that I cried with the weight of it in my eyes. And now I am back home again, and the grandfather clock has been wound up yet again, and is ticking tocking ticking tocking incessantly and dinging every dinging hour on the dinging fucking horrible hour, and it's so horrible that I keep crying. It's driving me crazy, and the clock-winder just doesn't understand why I'm so anxious about. And neither do I.
I know there will be a Better Day. But it's not today.

You can’t truly call yourself peaceful unless you are capable of violence. If you’re not capable of violence, you’re not peaceful. You’re harmless.

Quote by sweetsinner
On Friday I had a minor car accident - minor as in no injuries but there is some extensive car damage. At the time I had a meltdown. I couldn't stop crying an hyperventilating for ages. I spent thrree hours in the carpark before eventually chugging my way home the whole while stuck in a loop of wishing it had have actually been fatal so I could stop feeling like a fucking failure.I'm proud to say I did not open a bottle of alcohol that night despite how much I could have drunk the lot and more and never wanted to wake up. I've since also increased my dose of fluoxetine. Yay.
Today I got my first quote on the (yes uninsured) car which is in excess of $5k and I'm just dying. Although I should have cancelled my appointment to save every penny with everything that is going on I am kind of glad I didn't.
Today![]()
My story is not over.
And some metaphor for flight.

this reminded me of a poem I wrote over on SS a few weeks back.
Sometimes but rarely the words come out creatively. mostly i'm just stuck in shut down.
had a rough couple of days. i hate sharing myself with others. how do you overcome that to ask for help?

gonna go read your work in a bit, first, tho, yeah... i don't know. sometimes i just get to a place where i know that i either need to ask for help or things are going to take a bad turn. it's hard, tho - i have mastered the skill of having conversations when things are falling apart and acting like everything's okay. i'm actually amazingly good at it. things have to be really bad for me to say anything. that's why this has been a real help - i feel i can share here and not be judged or dismissed.

Quote by Regnadkcin
I think your last sentence is rather poignant. I really don't share much with all but a couple people. When I feel the darkness, it is also my most private time. Unhealthy I know, but true nonetheless.

I don't talk much but am nearly always around if you ever need an ear x
