Mental Illness Changes You
This photo here is when I turned 14. In 2009 going into 2010. I was happier. My 8th-grade year was a good one.
Even though my 9th grade and 10th-grade year were bad. It got better my Sr. Year.
It feels like the depression changed me, all the bullying and being push around changed me. My mom doesn't understand. She brushes it off as 'excuses' or 'lies.'
She likes to lecture me for 10 minutes over everything I can't do right. Maybe if we sat down and have a civil conversation about how I have been feeling, we can make it work. I tried reasoning with her and she won't listen. I am on my own fighting this mental illness and autism.
I have no one to help me with the fight. I should give up. Checkmate. Game over. It's like a chess game with my mom and her getting made and lecturing me is the checkmate.
NEVER - I repeat - NEVER give up! :-) ♥
I suppose I can go again after the checkmate.
I know the feeling. It's something I wrestle with from time to time. I've found that I have to distract myself when I'm down, give my brain something else to focus on.
I have my gaming, writing and art.
