my coping mechanisms are WORSE than my actual problems

Young Blood

It broke through the flood gates

Bite your check and feel that pain

It builds up the damn down the way

Choke it down and shut it up

No one wants to hear your shame

It’s starting to explode?

That sucks just for you

Screw the cap back on right

Or you’ll scare away the view

Cry yourself to sleep little one

It’s the only time you can

And if that doesn’t console you

Go put your head in the sand

No one gives a fuck

Not even god

They made you this way

Didn’t they son?

Get on your knees

And start to scream

Grab at the stars

And see if they bleed

I’m sorry young blood but this is the truth of it all

So shut up and smile

Swallow all those pills

Because it tames the beast and keeps you still

Yeah no one gives a shit

Except for you and you alone

And maybe the man behind that heavy telephone

Don’t let this escape from that black hole

That lives in that malnourished gut

Everything is fine , fine, fine

That’s what you must tell them all

Because no matter if you let this go

There’s no room for it in the space outside your own

Do you think this is a game?

Because it never was to me

Life is a cycle

And we got stuck in it’s spree

There’s no space on that paper anymore

You ran out of pages

From the day you were three

That’s when the monsters started to breath

Get on your knees

And start to confide

In nothing at all

Because you know it’s all a lie

I’m sorry young blood but this is the truth of it all

So shut up and smile

Swallow all those pills

Because it tames the beast and keeps you still

Me trying to reason with my intrusive thoughts and explain why they're wrong:

Hello writer. I'd like to play a game. You have to write a mentally ill character without demonizing them or making them a joke.

psych survival tips for ppl in the US, not sure if it varies by hospital. but if an ER doc is adamant you go to the ward, going voluntarily puts you on a 3 day hold - i.e, you can discharge yourself after 3 days.

meanwhile, if you're an involuntary admit, you're stuck for at least 2 weeks. after that, they might give you an application for voluntary status - you cannot leave unless you're on voluntary.

but please note, i said "application." you can ask to apply for voluntary before those 2 weeks. you do NOT have to wait for them to give it to you. my application form also said if they want to put me back on involuntary, they have 3 days to appeal.

each unit also has a lawyer assigned to it. you can contact them for other things too (like malpractice), but if you apply for voluntary status or get put back on involuntary, a lawyer can help. you can also contact Project LETS, an antipsych org that works with people surviving the system.

so TL;DR, if you know you're high risk of being sent involuntarily (ex: suicide attempt, complications from drug use, etc.)... you can play along with them and get out in 3 days. and even if you're an involuntary admit, there are still options!

The hold those books had on me

The reality is, the reason I survived my attempt is not because I have a second chance at life, it’s because the universe wanted to make sure I don’t get an out. She wanted to make me stay and suffer.

the body keeps the score

if there is a god, he should beg for my forgiveness, and I am not going to forgive him because I was too young to have suffered so much

[greyaugustuspoetry]

My demons have resurfaced

And they’ve come back ten fold

I’m so tired from the last battle

It’s getting out of my control

Oh lord hear my screams

That come from the top of my lungs

I need a savior and it can’t be me

Won’t someone help me stay clean?

Speaking as someone with PTSD, I've met many people who try to "inform" me of things I do as clearly a trauma response, and I would just like to say that maybe it is helpful the first (1st) time, but when you're bringing clearly traumatic shit like that to someone's attention 24/7, it's not helpful anymore. Sometimes we are already doing all that we can.

Please just be patient with traumatized individuals. Healing takes a lot of fucking time.
