 |
I feel as if I were in a train wreck in which I was left twisted in wreckage of steel and concrete.

My abandonment wasn't a clean wound like a death. When someone dies, with time, you heal from your grief. This was more like shrapnel exploding inside, creating real damages where ther's no chance to heal, just to survive.

I sank into a bottomless hole, no escape, time stood still and was torture to endure.

It feels as if I've been mortally wounded, even though I know I'll probably survive, but I'm still not sure I won't someday die of this wound.

I have been throwing a pity-party daily and nightly in which I myself am the guest of honor.

My world had no floor on which to stand. It simply vanished, leaving me suspended in mid-air above a vast chasm of loneliness, despair, and ANGER at being deceived.

I feel I can't function/think/live because I feel all the life is being sucked out of me.

The pain swells up in my chest and I cry with mouth wide open but no sound, I stop breathing and am sure this feeling will take my life and each time I experience it I hope this time it will take my life.

I developed survival techniques that are ultimately destructive based on an inaccurate perception of the world and I am just now realizing there is a reason for my unhealthy behavior and also admitting I experience unhealthy emotional patterns.

From being about 2 YO: Someone there then not.
Swallowing blackness, oblivion, utterly alone.

I feels like I'm in a black hole as if I were floating in space, unable to breath unable to function, unable to move.. but alive some how, but not wanting to be.
