The Daily Struggle

I went back to bed

Three times today

To try to dream

This pain away

But it didn’t work

And now I’m awake

Do I have any choice

But my life to take?

  1. Yes— the other choice was writing this and making a positive difference for people 😄. Even if you now go back to sleep, you’ve left your mark! 💙

    I liked reading this today— it felt relevant to me, but indirectly, by substituting depression with OCD/dissociation. I actually woke up in a good mood and haven’t had the usual obsessions, whereas the last few days I’ve ended up sleeping a lot after waking up and getting straight into obsessions. But today I’ve felt kind of lost— I’m not used to having choices over how to use my time 🤦‍♂️. And yet I found an anchor in turning those feelings into a creation here. In at least relating to people :). 💙

    1. I have this big problem with proof-reading stuff I’ve just written— whether it’s poems or comments. I can stick around for ages just trying to make sure I’ve proof-read it in a satisfactory way. Depriving me of the satisfaction it was initially giving me. It’s a total Just Right OCD thing. I just remembered it’s not worth it 😆. fdsjoifjdsoi fjio2j2oj sif0ds fidosjfdois
