Beautifully Depressed

I dreamed you were gone.

Suddenly i realize......i'm not asleep.

I'll follow you down until the sound of my voice haunts you.

You wake up and realize......your sun loves to go down.

The dream of you and all the things you say. I need you now.

Now that your gone...all of the stars have faded away.

I'm the son of rage and love.

Walking Alone

I didn't take my meds just for today.....


So i could just sit around.......dry my eyes....and feel sorry for myself.


Drinking tonight........just a sixpack.


I think i'm going to cut tonight.


I feel so useless and alone. Useless and a waste.

confliction

Well don't be lonely now.

Dry your wounded eyes.

I don't know what the $#@% to think anymore.....i'm confused....i feel wired, tired, wierd, maybe i should have taken my meds today.
I really wanted to cut.....to show them hurt.....now.....i feel empty and alone.
I don't know what i might do tonight......i just don't feel anything right now.
Empty.....and low.

Please don't cut. I have a son that went through that. I wish I could just give you a hug. And yes please keep writing down how you feel, let the pain out. If you have people you can be with that will help go be with them and talk it thru.

Hi October- I just read this thread for the first time. I am glad that you were able to turn to this site for a place to talk. That is what we are here for.... please don't feel bad about it.

Not sure what BUS is, but I am glad that you were able to get it up. It sounds like a source of support.

i have experience with harming myself... I hope that you don't feel that you need to do it again tonight. Log back on here and talk to us if you need to.

You can PM me if you want to. I will be online awhile...I have many addictions--cutting is part of my story...as well as some other stuff. You don't have to go through this alone--cutting won't solve anything....only gives some (temporary) relief. Trust me I have plenty of scars. You mentioned medication....why aren't you taking your meds?--what are you supposed to be taking?--if you don't mind me asking. Are you still seeing your doctor regularly?

Why did you stop taking your meds and start drinking? Did something happen? I would usually cut when I felt powerless about a situation which I felt I had no control over....and drinking beforehand was usually a part of it--though not always. Sometimes I would just be really stressed out or angry at someone else--but would punish/harm myself--sometimes as a way to get back at them...as if to try to hurt them..if that makes any sense. You don't have to continue this behavior....plus if you are already depressed--alcohol will only make it worse. (Alcohol is a depressant.)
