Diary entry 14-02-2023. Self Worth
I’ve been lost for a long time, not knowing who or what I was. Eternal conflict, unending torture. Follow the voices, hiding the truth, lying to myself. If it was even me who I was talking to. How to see the difference? Can you even see any difference? In the mirrors reflection, the same smirks and expressions. Each and every day they seem different but are still the same image. Is that who I am? Is this all I am? Or are we just what we are. Many in one, one body, many minds, one reflection, numerous copies of the same but all different. It’s getting harder to differentiate between all of...

Electroconvulsive Therapy

Electroconvulsive Therapy
Spying exits, I contemplate my escape
as my wheelchair winds its way from
the ICU to the fifth floor psych ward.
I'm promised three meals a day,
served on trays that bear my name (a name ostensibly Top Secret on this floor).
Next comes the forced sharing of painful memories with other imperfect strangers.
A game played if we hope win our release.
Yet, there's no percentage in this slow attrition. So I go "All In" for the Gold Standard Treatment,...

At the end of my rope (03-10-2022)
Again the pressure is building up inside my head. When am I going to snap? When will I reach my limit? I can’t hold this inside for much longer. My mind is racing, crashing against the walls I have built myself. Walls raised for protection, raised to appear normal, raised so I can function, strengthened by the knowledge of past borders I protected. Stretching the periods between outbursts. But knowing that it has been quite a while that it happened. The voices are driving me crazy. Getting louder each day and night. Unable to sleep properly, unable to think clear. Insomnia is driving me nuts....

Apologies
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
I'm so fucking sorry.
I....I'm sorry.
I'm sorry. I didn't mean for it to turn out this way.
I'm sorry. I didn't mean for you to have to worry.
I'm sorry. I didn't mean for you to have to listen to my constant bitching.
I'm sorry. I didn't mean for you to have to think about me.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry. I didn't think about you.
I'm sorry. I didn't think about me.
I'm sorry. I didn't think about us.

of egoic personalities ...

Diary entry 09-06-2022 (After a month)
It feels like an eternity. I’ve been away for about a month now. I decided not to get admitted into a place where I will just be another number. A name on the list. A cog in the great machine. I chose to go on a little ‘vacation’, I stayed at a friend’s house for a bit. This person is a psychologist for a little institution that helps people who no one wants to help or the system just has forgotten. This person has been a friend for such a long time I almost forgot that she is a friend and not family. I’ve talked with her for most of my teenage years and all the years that followed. But I was...

The Gamble
High stakes
Shuffle the deck
Cut it
Discard a card
Deal
Good cards
Bad card
There's a joker on the table
As you put out your big blind
Holding my queen of hearts tight
Pair of Aces feels right
Its gonna be a good night
First round called
Dealer flops the first three
No queen to be seen but your aces are still keen
Raise the stakes , this is becoming a fast race a the couple on the other side of the table folds and sits back could see its too risky and they'd rather relax and enjoy a nice whisky. ...

My Mental Story
For about 15 years now I’ve been suffering from psychosis. I hear voices and experience delusions. Everywhere, all day and all night. For the most part I’ve done what I can to fight it and ignored the cacophony of noise and the calls to harm or kill myself. I’ve learned to meditate, clear my mind, focus my energy. However it’s not pleasant and I’m in constant struggle with it. This is something I’ve kept to myself because of the implications from work colleagues, friends and family. I’m terrified of their reactions and how they’d view me. To be quite honest, the voices already tell me what...

The tragedy of a sister raising a brother
You tell me Im just like her; our shared abuser
Oh brother dear that made me spiral
Here I am just 25 is my brain even fully alive?
Here I am married and suddenly a parent to you
And you want an enemy and hyperfocus on me
The only connection you have to our past
Logically I get it but emotionally I'm being transparent
I'm wrecking everything cuz I can't get over it
Your fourteen you dont know what it means
To have lived the tragic life I have
And maybe I don't understand your trauma either
Our stories are different despite the vast...
