“Even miracles take a little time”
Fairy Godmother, Cinderella
Mental illnesses aren’t cute or cool or trendy.
But they’re not something to be ashamed about or try to hide either.
They’re just there. Just like any other health issue.
Things I realised while in hospital, part 2
10) you cannot be defined by names or medical terms. You may be suffering from the same illness as someone else, but you are still completely different, and have your own individual story.
11) to not take everything so seriously. Life gets better when you learn to laugh at yourself a little.
12) good comes out of even the seemingly most awful situations.
13) it’s possible to get joy out of the smallest things which you never would’ve even thought of beforehand
14) I am not always right about everything!!
15) everything is being done in your best interest. Stop fighting it.
16) there is always hope. Always.
Things I realised while in hospital, part 1
1) there are some really good people out there. Everybody just wants to help. They are not against you.
2) it is okay to open up to people.
3) it is okay to show your emotions. It is HEALTHY.
4) talking helps. A lot.
5) to accept that there are some things you can’t change.
6) you always have more strength and resilience in you than you think you do.
7) time can seem to pass so slowly but you only get each day once so you might as well make the most of it.
8) people are more forgiving than you think. If you don’t want to talk because you’re having a bad day, that’s okay, and they won’t perceive you as rude or a bad person.
9) there is no quick fix. Recovery takes time.

i’ve lost everyone including myself
waiting patiently for the end.
i’ve become obsessed with knowing myself.
i guess you could call it text book daddy issues.
you could never compete
my house wasn’t haunted. it was my head.
And I need to be redeemed
To the one I’ve sinned against
Because he’s all I ever knew of love
Now I’m too tired to go to sleep
Now I can’t breathe, and I can’t sleep
there was something missing
lock you in her heart
no one took it seriously.
Don’t ask if I’m happy, you know that I’m not
