Broken

I had dinner a little while ago and it's not sitting well.   My stomach just doesn't want food and I'm fighting to keep it down.   I'm sad.   I just want to cry all the time.   I'm not looking forward to tomorrow.   I don't know if I have the strength to get through it.   It's all so empty, so hollow.


I keep thinking about the hospital.   I'm not nearly bad enough to be there, but in a weird way, I wish I were.    I don't really like being locked up, but when I'm feeling like this the hospital provides a sense of safety.    It's closed in and the day is structured.   I want to feel safe.   But I'm not going into the hospital this time.    I've learned a lot of lessons from being there and, as much as I hate arts and crafts, I see their necessity.    Structure is necessary to pulling out of this, having activities to keep the mind active are necessary to pulling out of this.   It doesn't matter how badly I don't want to get up tomorrow.   It doesn't matter how heavy or awful I feel, I'm getting up, going and I'm going to give it my all.    Like it or not, this is my life and as long as I'm alive I'm going to live it with everything I've got.

Don't give up. You are definitely on the right track toward healing. ((hugs))

If you can do it, I can. I do like arts and crafts though. But I think being locked up and told what to do would make me worse. I have a rebelious reflex that would make conforming impossible. God, I would so be tied up and drugged. Okay, note to self: Stay the hell out of the hospital. Thanks Aurora.

I have a rebellious streak, too. The first time I went into the hospital, it was because I was delusional. I was hearing voices and they were telling me to drink drain cleaner. They were absolutely relentless! They kept telling me it was the only way to end the pain. But I'm oppositionally defiant and that beats psychotic any day of the week. I told the voices if they wanted me dead, I wasn't going to do it for them, they had to kill me themselves. So I sat and waited, and waited, and waited. They never came. I don't like being told what to do, either! :)
