You don't get joy out of things that used to be what you loved? You're full of fear.....think you're a piece of shit.....and thinking of making it through until tomorrow (when things will be exactly the same as today) is exhausting torture? It's even tiring to get up and walk accross the room.


Which part did I miss?
I see what you're getting at, I recognize those symptoms myself. But more than anything I'm having these little freakouts more and more where I can't stop squirming from the pain and start hitting myself and shit, seems to bring its own type of relief as a sort of distraction. I'm getting frequent anxiety, heavy breathing, random episodes of holding back the tears from frustration.

You're right though, I don't seem to enjoy things much these days, though I still love music and it's the only thing that keeps me sane. I think it's just compounded because I really want to be with this girl and I can tell she wants me to some degree or other, and this muscle pain just keeps reminding me that I can't give her any sort of normal life like partying, bar-hopping, going shopping etc. My mind just keeps telling me that she'll want to get away from it eventually, because I sure as hell do. Frig, and people wonder why I'm an atheist.
Gandalf_The_Grey Reviewed by Gandalf_The_Grey on . I need to ask you something... You ever wake up at 5:00am every morning worrying about shit, unable to decide if you want sleep or consciousness? You ever been trapped in one type of pain so long it's exhausted all your resources, and you want more than anything to end it, and no matter how hard you look you can't find a way? You ever been head-over-heels in love and can't find the right way to tell them because you're afraid nobody would want to be with someone with your health condition? You ever want to abandon Rating: 5
