Basically... it sucks. That should be pretty obvious. But most people don't know just how much.
I was reading a book that had an analogy I thought was pretty accurate. Imagine taking a paperclip, straightening it out, and sticking one end underneath your fingernail. Except, that feeling is experienced mentally and emotionally. I know that the first time I visualized this in my head, I cringed at the thought.
So, I know this is pretty random. But I guess I just want to bring it out into the open. People don't talk about personal things like this enough, and openly too. It's like it's some sort of taboo to discuss mental illnesses. Though, on the other hand, it isn't exactly easy to talk about...
This is all very true.
ReplyDeleteI'm proud of you, and I really care about you even if sometimes we get mad at each other. I'll always worry about you. and I would like to be able to talk to you again like we did a long time ago. I miss you.
ReplyDeleteI believe that it is taboo for the same reason that public nudity is taboo.
ReplyDeleteHmmm, but public nudity can't be compared to depression. In fact, talking about depression can establish closer bonds between people
ReplyDeleteHoney, I think it's great you're putting it out there, but... You never wanted to discuss it with me. It's hard to talk about; it hurts knowing there was nothing I could say or nothing I could do right.
ReplyDeleteIt really does suck, even more so when you have big events when your supposed to be all sorts of happy, but you can't. Do you ever fake being happy do get people to stop bugging you? I do sometimes or a lot of the time.
