Ghosts
This post deals with sensitive topics including trauma and suice. If you’re affected by these issues, seek professional help as soon as possible. There are people who want to help you, but healing needs time and appropriate guidance. As my body remembers and the fragments return piece by piece, life gets progressively harder. I stillContinue reading “Ghosts”
ER
None of the experience I describe below is advice. Despite the experience I describe, if you are experiencing mental health issues you should absolutely seek professional help that suits your needs.

Losing
One more day, one step at a time – seek whatever help you need and hold on for tomorrow. Step. Who am I? I’m not sure I’ve ever known what that means. I prided myself on my intellect. I’m no genius, but my problem-solving ability has always served me and given me confidence. My bodyContinue reading “Losing”
Shutdown
Fight for the help you need. I’m going to follow some advice and write about how things feel in the moment without trying to make sense of it. My whole body feels like it’s giving up. I’m losing the ability to do basic things (physically and mentally). Mentally: I can’t find the words I need.Continue reading “Shutdown”
What goes up…
Despite my negative experiences, if you’re experiencing a crisis, I urge you to seek all the professional (and emotional) help you can. Even the negative experiences can save your life as they have for me. Since my last post I crashed hard.
