Call Me Crazy
L. B. Mek said:

our idea\'s of happiness is somewhat toxic: let that be your final goal, instead dear sister
begin with incremental steps, to that dream \'of anything better\'
break down existence to induvial fractions
of breathe, of seconds, of actions: entirely your choice
now try, ever so gently without forcing yourself
by thinking of toxic expectation, instead causally: simply try
to concentrate on that one individual fragment \'you\'ve decided upon\'
your life, divided in individual breathes or seconds or actions
again, there is no failure, your may stop and start as much as you like
but somehow, gradually
try linking a few fragments together
and you\'ll find yourself moving further that you thought
its ok if you falter and restart again and again
what existence asks of you is that you simply: try, my dear
without projecting toxic results or grand goals and aspirations
they can all wait, right now
its just you and those fragments, you\'re linking one by one
knowing: if you need to
plenty of free help is around to help
and willing to listen: not just hear and forget..
good luck dear poet! thanks for choosing to bravely share and survive

I am sure that happy young girl is still within you Jodie and one day soon I am sure that it will reappear outside your mind.

Dear family
SLR said:

This feels like a suicide note. If that is the case, please tell someone. Preferably a professional but if you can\'t do that, than anyone you trust to have your best interests at heart. Believe it or not, it does get better.

The edge
lost-but-not-broken17 said:

The demons will never go away sadly I’ve been battling them for 11 years. But it’s the way you over come them. How you show no fear to them. As they try to make you low, you brush them off and keep your head held high.

Scared

I wish I could express myself the way you do, your writing is beautiful and fits like gruesome music to a cult classic. Perfect

How long?
Noah said:

Ah, happiness. The grandest illusion. Where there is darkness, light will always be corrupted. Where there is doubt, so will certainty.

My Depression
myself and me said:

You are not alone. My last wave just over last week. My depression is on and off case. Keep writing, get your feeling out. Keep yourself busy, force yourself focus on something. Take a long walk outside. Fight, fight harder, even though you are exhausted. A heart touching poem.

My Depression
Poetic Dan said:

There is no good or bad here, just expressions of our truths deep within. That\'s what this is for me anyway, and many good souls have I met doing the same, now you\'re a new one on my stage.

Your words are pure, I felt my own pain and some more. I could say what I did to get down from my cliff but the best thing I know after 22 years of suffering, is to let you know you are not alone and you\'ve just inspired me to keep on.

Thank you again for the heart felt words!
