As a writer, I use words to make art. As someone living with Depression, I often think of hurting myself and sometimes those around me. To keep myself from acting on these thoughts I use the gift of my vivid imagination. I play them out in my head and, sometimes, write them out in times of desperate need for release.
I used to cut myself. I used to smash my face into walls and doors. I used to take a needle and thread to my flesh. It has been years since I have done these things. I did them because I needed to feel something other than the Deep Dark Pit that is my Depression, or the Raging Inferno that is my Anger, or the Icy Void that is my Panic Disorder.
Now, armed with my Imagination, a laptop and a couple of different mental issues, I will show you how Deep my Depression can take me, how far my Panic removes me, and how much my Anger burns me. This is a collection of random pieces that help me get through each day without actual bloodshed. This is what keeps me from being locked up, either in the psych ward or in prison. If you are ready, then here we go.
