“Yesterday

When I woke up

The sun fell to the ground and rolled away

Flowers beheaded themselves

All that’s left alive here is me

And I barely feel like living”

Depression is a shadow living inside of me

“Our knees are pried open

by cousins

and uncles

and men

our bodies touched

by all the wrong people

that even in a bed full of safety

we are afraid”"

“He guts her

with his fingers

like he’s scraping the inside of a cantaloupe clean”

I flinch when you touch me

fearing it’s him

6/8/2018

I have to believe

the day will come where I don’t flinch

whenever I hear

his name

-some names will always be cursed

6/2/2018

Like quicksand, the harder I fight the quicker I sink

5/31/2018

They feared it

So I thought I ought to

5/28/2018

I can still taste the chemicals

Helped black it out for just a moment

No one gets it

5/1/2018

Taking this job was the worst decision I could have made.

I took it thinking it would be the door to opportunities.

Instead, it gave me so much pain. I hate this place.

I’m done.

4/7/2018

I’m having lots of dreams about loosing my hair

Had an anxiety attack last night

Couldn’t sleep till after 4am

He’s here. In town. Fucking hate him

3/25/2018

I’m applying to PDs

Anywhere but here is better

I looked up MH jobs out of curiosity

Seems unrealistic

3/4/2018

It’s too hard.

I crave the escape.

Anything to make the mental and physical pain go away.

I’m weak most days.

Will it always be this way?

2/18/2018

I listen to a copy of the tape

Relieve the stress

2/12/2018

Today, I fixate.

I add the numbers up.

The harder the goal, the more accomplished I feel.

The intensity of the restriction gives me back power.

2/11/2018

Maybe I need to stop trying to pick up where I left off and create something new.

Maybe things won’t be as they were but maybe they can be a different good.

Maybe even better with time.

2/10/2018

Tomorrow is the belt ceremony.

Coach is making me go.

I feel it’ll be hard to go.

He took this away from me too.

I’m trying hard to find the power to take the next steps.

2/5/2018

She tells me I’d make a great psychologist.

She’s always said that to me but it’s more ironic now.

I feel I’m the least qualified.

She says it’s a talent I’ve developed through my own suffering.

1/29/2018

Sleep problems are bad.

I want to sleep all day and can’t at night.

1/3/2018

The panic attacks are too much. I’m trying to forget.

12/19/2017

I already died. Why is everyone so selfish? They tell me to be strong and to stay alive. I’m suffering every day, every hour, and every minute. Please let me die. I’m ready. I’m ok with it.

Please make the pain stop…

I keep picturing this disgusting body being cold. Cold and limp…

12/14/2017

Sometimes I think it will never go away. I want it to go away. I just want it to leave my memory. How do I get better after this?

12/11/2017

The thoughts of hurting myself are too loud. I can’t tolerate it.
