My brain is dumb,I'm dumbing down,I'm dumbing down,I'm losing braincells, My brain is dumb,I'm dumbing down,Turn a wide-open day,Into hours of anxiety and OCD; All of that potential for feeling good,To work towards goals,"Tomorrow's a new day",Until it isn't, And there's no way to reason out of it,Since it's all for nothing,It's all just the … Continue reading Dumbing Down

Haunted By A Nightmare
Still alive, still alive,For now,Caring for myself in the most basic of ways,Surviving the emotional pain and getting through this moment only; It is not a time for too much reflection on the past,Not in the present circumstancesβA certain degree of emotional safety is required, before delving into that; Oh, the feeling of bottomless abyss … Continue reading Haunted By A Nightmare
Dare Myself
Repeating phrases in my mind,I can't stop it,I just keep doing it!

It's been one hell of a day so far,Fifteen hours, it's taken me,Just to get to lunch; There are too many days like thisβWhere I'm fighting lethargy,Fear at leaving my room and facing the mess,Then the anger, and cleaning which I must do first,Then cleaning the bathroom again if I forget to lock it from … Continue reading How And Why Am I Still Going?
Trauma And Doubts
It takes a long time to recover from trauma,Even without additional obstacles, Your path to reach a good point,Cannot be judged; It is a marathon in the making,Which utterly dwarfs that London one, But the high points, later on,Will make it all worth it. Unless you die of physical illness first,That's always the worry;But nevermind! … Continue reading Trauma And Doubts
The Hopeful Delusion
I had an encouraging conversation,With a mental health person, I'd met her at the mental health hospital in November,During an acute crisis period, And since the police contacted the hospital,(This is pretty raw stuff π),She's been back in touch, including by email! She is joint-best, if not the best,Amongst the mental health professionals I've encountered, … Continue reading The Hopeful Delusion
