Writing to Support Mental Health

Arnold Schwarzenegger isn't the only one writing for Mental Health. When I started writing for The CP Diary in 2010, I didn't know what I was going to write about, all I had was my gut telling me I needed to write.

Fast forward to 2023, with so much responsibility, mental health is being ignored and it's getting harder to write. In a world that is changed, expectations and opinions are also sky high. In 2010, although writing didn't start out as my biggest challenge, it has now become my biggest challenge.

The CP Diary raises awareness

What The CP Diary does is raise awareness and highlights mental health challenges, through topics that affect us all, in a way we can relate and understand, then it's up to us to take those pointers on board. I hope that as I continue to raise awareness, my writing sends a message on why we need to be proactive with our mental health.

Mental Health Issues equals Illness

While what I write may sometimes hit a nerve, a nerve that doesn't always sit well, sometimes it's necessary into taking action, to be proactive. But mental health issues don't go away until we deal with those. Instead, those issues may turn into low moods, anxiety, depression and in many cases, illness and a potential untimely death.

Until I started my blog, I dealt with mental health issues behind the scenes. The CP Diary has given me a voice, an outlet to be able to talk about mental health. As I continue to write, my blog, continues to help me work on my mental health, and also for those who are prepared to put the work in.

Chasing A Memory

I walk along these lonely streets, to find a face long dead to me, he hides beneath the falling rain a shadow on a window pane, a fleeting trick of my eye, so many times I’ve watched him cry.

I’m just chasing a memory, of who I used to be, I don’t want to bring him back, no it’s too late for that, I want to tell him it’s alright, that we made it through in time, wrap my arms around my past and make him see, that he’s now me.

A constant battle through the pain a fight to break out of these chains, he disappeared inside of me, afraid to let the outside see, that hurt is caused inside my head, almost like it wants me dead.

I’m just chasing a memory, of who I used to be, I don’t want to bring him back, no it’s too late for that, I want to tell him it’s alright, that we made it through in time, wrap my arms around my past and make him see, that he’s now me.

What Comes At Night I pray that darkness won't come But I'm forsaken by the sun The light begins to fade So many times I've been betrayed Regrets resurface in the night Uncompromised by broad daylight Made to fear each speck of black by night I'm under full attack Can't close my eyes for fear of falling I can hear dark angels calling Darkness destroys all I see Only daylight comforts me Not felt its warmth for so long This pitch black holds so strong I do my best to overcome What lurks out of sight What comes at night Darkness wraps around my heart Tearing piece of mind apart A full assault of memories Spreading my pain like disease I throw my arms out to the night Begging it to end my plight It throws my weakness in my face And drags me to my darkest place Can't close my eyes for fear of falling I can hear dark angels calling Darkness destroys all I see Only daylight comforts me Not felt its warmth for so long This pitch black holds so strong I do my best to overcome What lurks out of sight What comes at night Kyle Rush #poem #poet #poetry #lyrics #lyricist #depression #anxiety #mentalhealth #scottishpoet #darkpoetry #suicidepoem #writingformentalhealth #writer #scottishwriter #dark #depressionawareness #KyleRush #darkness #mentallyexhausted #writersofinstagram #writerscommunity #songwriter #scottishsongwriter #poetsofinstagram #poetssociety #poetryofinstagram #poetrysociety #chronicpain #spoonie #chronicillness https://www.instagram.com/p/BsWXqTTD-xv/?igshid=o17mbh6ewcqs
