    About Me

    I'm a student at an arts boarding high school, a creative writer. I love art in all its forms, from poetry to painting to movies. I live on music. Stress is no small factor in my life, neither are drawn out states of depression and escapism. I'm ironicly a realist, but I wish I wasn't sometimes;I don't see all that much good in humanity or myself for that matter.Guilt and hopelessness and apathy and longing play pingpong all the time.My life is a movie, or a serries of music videos. I am the writer, the reader, and the liver.I like being detached, on the outside sometimes, even the dark looks beautiful, its like seeing how pretty the snow is without feeling the cold. But I just want simple happiness, a love not less and not more than my own.

      My formula for living is quite simple. I get up in the morning and I go to bed at night. In between, I occupy myself as best I can. Cary Grant

    • Close Depression
      Type: Clinical (Major) Depression

      figuratively speaking, I have a papercut but the pain sinks so deep and expands so out of proportion that my own self forces open a gashing wound where there was once an itchy sliver of discontent. Then I'm stuck living with it, trying to press it forcefully so the bleeding will stop, and if I'm lucky i'm left only with a bruise. The bruises have a way of showing up again, and I feel melodramatic describing it, but I guess that's the point of the whole thing, I see things in that sort of light.

      Treatments

      Lexapro Too Soon to Tell
      Psychotherapy Too Soon to Tell
      It hasn't worked in the past, I'm giving it another try.
      Support from Friends & Family Somewhat Helpful
      somewhat damaging at the same time. Guilt plays into it, and misunderstandings.
      Writing Working / Worked
      I think a lot, too much, in metephores and analyses. I'm introspective. Now I'm just trying to write everything I think down, it's working well thus far.
    • Close Depression - Teen

      I feel like I'm clawing at water, gasping for air, taking it in in gulps, going back down. It's something I've been dealing with all my life, it's physical and emotional. Sometimes I can hardly will myself to move at all, and anxiety and stress push me into that place. I’m always tired. I get mood shifts suddenly, and inappropriately, like being sad at a happy occasion. It's not fair to those who love me. Guilt is no absence.

      Treatments

      Art Working / Worked
      sketching mostly, it helps if what I'm feeling can't come out through words
      Lexapro Too Soon to Tell
      not working so far but I'll be patient
      Psychotherapy Too Soon to Tell
      never really worked for me, but I'll give it another try.
      Writing Working / Worked
      I often think in metaphor and etc. so it's good to write it out, or even when it's blander language, it releases something.
