hi @Mazarita
im struggling with alot of things tonight. just the usual stuff that likes to linger and can never seem to shift off. and a few triggers of recent and now a loveley big dose of vertigo has hit me tonight

Hugs, @outlander. Vertigo might be related to anxiety too, I'm guessing. Any movies on where you are tonight? I've been watching bits of Star Trek: The Search for Spock. It's a really good one but I've seen it before and not much into the TV mood.

Hope it passes very quickly for you when you lie down and relax more, @outlander. Meds should help too. I'm getting sleepy here too, have already taken mine.
Edit: gotta go, getting too tired now. Nightie night, @outlander.

Voices:
Voices in my head are getting louder
There are so many in the crowd
laughing, angry people
just laughing and talking
some are telling me what to do
some are just watching me
and one in particular is saying
i am weak, i am not strong
if i did what they say
i would be in trouble
but then i would see someone
who i have missed
but no i can't do that
these voices and visions
are really frustrating
annoying and scary
i want them to go away
i close my eyes and close them tight
for i wish they would go away
but then i open my eyes
and no they are still there
i pray to God that He helps me
and He takes away the pain
I hope that He can help me
for I am stuck in this mess

words
words can't describe
what i feel inside
standing tall
feeling small
my body abused
my brain confused
my memories obscured
i feel i've been lured
in the depth of my soul
and found a deep hole
war shatters the mind
i'm surprised i can find
that i'm still alive
ptsd
is what i see
childhood trauma
is that a diploma
and complex grief
mucks up my belief
i feel lost
and i wonder what cost
i'll be paying
for saying out loud
what should have stayed hidden
what i was told was forbidden
locked away in my soul
