Overwhelmed.

School.

Work.

Family.

It's all taken over her life.

Social life? What’s that?

Deciding on the things she wants to do is overwhelming.

Failing two of her college classes, trying not to tell her parents so they don't yell at her.

Not telling them that she has skipped a few times here and there.

Sometimes she just can't handle the stress that comes with this.

Not wanting to get fired from her job for not being good enough at what she does.

Compliments here and there make her feel like she's actually worth something in the world.

Then she gets alone and the thoughts consume her. Am i really worth it? Am i really a good enough adult? Does anyone want me here?

Those are the thoughts running through her hectic mind.

Her demons are coming back.

Telling her to paint her wrists like she used to. Saying that she isn't good enough and doesn't need to be here.
Sometimes she gets close to giving in. giving in to the demons whispers.

Somehow through all this she stays strong. Weak and slightly broken but she is semi strong.

Refusing to show her weaknesses and her vulnerabilities she fakes being nice, she fakes a smile on her face, she fakes being happy to make everyone around her stay away. So they don't ask questions. So she doesn't draw attention to herself the way she would like to draw on herself.
