Follow the routine. 5 pills in the morning and then 3 in the afternoon and 4 more at night. I know I can't forget to take them.

When I first take them the false sense of happiness sets in. I feel invincible. I feel like there isn't anything that I can't do. The world and I seem to spin in perfect time. A few days later comes the crash. I can't feel anything I feel hollow. The numbness washes through my body from the top of my head to the tip of my toes. I find myself longing to feel something, anything. I can't stop taking them, I know I can't, but I desperately want to feel something again.
