The struggles I face
In my everyday life
I struggle to eat
Sleep
And have OCD
This illness kills me
Every
Single
Day
It makes me face my inner me
My blue me
It challenges me
On a daily basis
It makes me think
Should I seek help?
Or let fear stop me
Either from attending that
Support group meeting
Or having that self-love plan
My symptoms may be very common
But how normal is it?
Don't compare my illness to common symptoms
My illness is like a sickness it quickness if not treated like the flu or a cold
It's not contagious but has many victims
So many witnesses of this illness
The system is very limited
Only with those who could afford or defeat this illness with a specialist by their side.
Everyone seems to accept this form of ¨normal¨
How is stress
PTSD, OCD, mood, anxiety
All normal?
When you say normal define that for me
Because none of my struggle here shows normal to me.
You say ¨ooh your anxiety is not that bad¨
Or ¨will be fine stop stressing¨
You ask ¨ Do you get enough sleep¨
¨Why are you so moody all the sudden
Your extremely happy one minute then sad the next minute¨
But you see it takes a person like me
To see your lack of insight
Your lack of awareness
Like the blind leading the blind
Into your ignorance
But it's not your fault
Nor mine
It's too bad
That they don't talk about
My struggles
That I face in my everyday life.
